PAROCHIAL RECORDS ACT 1876 - SECT 5

Minister of Finance may make special orders in case of parish with fit and safe buildings for records.

5. The [Minister of Finance] may, if satisfied by a report or reports to be
from time to time made to him on his request by one of their officials
nominated in that behalf by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland (the
said Commissioners being hereby authorised and required on the request of the
[Minister of Finance] to obtain such report or reports) that "records" are
kept in fit and safe buildings, and that due provision is made for their safe
custody, order and permit the same to remain in the care of any rector, vicar
or curate of the said Church in the parish to which such records belong; and
may, in the case of parishes where records have been removed by the Master of
the Rolls before this Act, if satisfied by such report as aforesaid that fit
and safe accommodation has been provided for said records, and due provision
made for their future custody, order said records to be committed to the
charge of any rector, vicar, or curate of the said Church in the parish to
which such records belong: Provided always, that the [Minister of Finance] may
at any time, if satisfied that any records permitted to be retained or
committed to such charge as aforesaid under this section are kept in unfit and
unsafe buildings, or that due provision is not made for their safe custody, as
soon as conveniently may be, issue warrants directed to the several persons
having the care of any such record or records, ordering such persons to allow
the same to be removed from its or their place of custody, and deposited in
the Record Office; and such records shall in all particulars be regarded as
within all the provisions of the Public Records (Ireland) Act, 1867, Amendment
Act, 1875, and the orders made in relation thereto shall have the same effect,
and be attended with the same consequences, as if made under said Act.
