RIGHTS OF LIGHT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1961 - SECT 4

Application to Crown land.

4.(1) Subject to sub-section (2), this Act shall bind the Crown to the full
extent authorised by the constitutional laws of Northern Ireland and
accordingly shall apply in relation to land in which there is a
Crown or Duchy estate as it applies in relation to land in which there is no
such estate.

(2) Section three of the Prescription Act, 1832, as modified by the preceding
provisions of this Act, shall not by virtue of this section be construed as
applying to any land to which (by reason that there is a Crown or Duchy estate
therein) that section would not apply apart from this Act.

(3) In this section "Crown or Duchy estate" means an estate belonging to Her
Majesty in right of the Crown or of the Duchy of Lancaster, or belonging to
the Duchy of Cornwall, or belonging to a department of the government of
Northern Ireland or of the government of the United Kingdom, or held in trust
for Her Majesty for the purposes of a department of either such government.
