PUBLIC HEALTH (IRELAND) ACT 1878 - SECT 163

On representation duly made, Local Government Board may restrain the opening of new burial grounds, and order discontinuance of burials in specified places.

163. When and so often as such representation shall have been made, or
otherwise as occasion may require, it shall and may be lawful for the
Local Government Board, if it shall think fit, to direct an inquiry to be made
in the place or district in which any such burial ground or place of burial
may be situate, in respect of any matter in relation thereto, after notice
shall have been given of the time, place, and subject of such inquiry, such
notice to be published once in the [Belfast Gazette], and affixed on the doors
of the church and chapel of, or in some other conspicuous places within, the
parish in which such burial ground may be situate, three weeks before the time
of holding such inquiry; and it shall be lawful for one of the inspectors of
the said Local Government Board to hold such inquiry, and upon receipt of the
report of such inspector as to the result of such inquiry, and of the
evidence, if any, taken thereon, it shall be lawful for the
Local Government Board to act, and deal with, and make such order in the case,
in such manner and in such form, and without further notice, as to them may
seem meet; and at any time thereafter to vary such order as occasion may
require, and every such order or amended order shall be deemed in all respects
valid and effectual in law.
