2.

A rating authority (within the meaning of the Local Government Act, 1946 ) shall not apply the Rates on Agricultural Land (Relief) Act, 1946 to a person, as respects the local financial year 1978, if the valuation of all the tenements of agricultural land in the rating area of the authority in respect of which he is rated equals or exceeds £75.

Environment this 17th day of July, 1978.

SYLVESTER BARRETT,

Minister for the Environment.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Order enables the provisions dealing with the aggregation of holdings in section 1 (2) of the Rates on Agricultural Land (Relief) Act, 1978 to be eased in relation to 1978. The effect of the order is that each rating authority takes account of the rated holdings in its own rating area only, for the purposes of establishing the aggregate land valuation of a person in order to determine whether he qualifies for rates relief under the Agricultural Grant Scheme in 1978.
