Irish Land Act, 1903

Temporary borrowing by National Debt Commissioners.

30. Instead of issuing stock, the Treasury may authorise the National Debt Commissioners to borrow temporarily for the purposes of the Irish Land Purchase Fund, on such terms as the Treasury may approve, and any sums so authorised to be borrowed may be lent by the National Debt Commissioners, out of any cash balance in their hand available for investment, or by the Bank of England or Bank of Ireland, and shall be repaid out of the next subsequent issue of the stock or out of any money standing to the credit of the capital account of the Irish Land Purchase Fund. The interest on any money so borrowed shall be charged on the income of the Irish Land Purchase Fund in like manner as dividends on stock.
