(2.) The Lord Lieutenant may certify to the like effect with respect to the limit provided by subsection (2) of section forty-three of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1896, and in such case the Treasury may authorise advances to be made under that section for the benefit of the county mentioned in such certificate to such increased amount as may be determined by them, not exceeding fifty times the share of the county in the interest on the church surplus grant, after making the deductions in the said subsection mentioned, where they are of the same opinion as aforesaid.

(3.) Subsection (1) of section four of the Congested Districts Board (Ireland) Act, 1899 (which extends the limit under section forty-three of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1896), is hereby repealed.
