WHALE FISHERIES (IRELAND) ACT 1908 - SECT 2

Granting of licences by the fishery authority on certain conditions.

2. It shall be lawful for the fishery authority to issue licences under
this Act, subject to the following conditions:

(1)A person applying to the fishery authority for a licence shall, at least
two months before making such application, publish notice thereof once in each
of two consecutive weeks, with an interval between each publication of not
less than six days, in one or more newspaper or newspapers circulating in the
district in which the factory or station existing or to be erected is situate:
Such notice shall state the name and address of the applicant, and shall
contain a description of the site or intended site of the factory or station
where the process of manufacture as aforesaid is to be conducted:

(2)It shall be lawful for the council of any county, county district, or
county borough in which the factory or station existing or to be erected is
situate, or for any person interested, within fourteen days after the
publication of such notice as aforesaid, to lodge with the fishery authority
objections to the granting of any such licence, and the fishery authority
shall consider any such objections, and, after such inquiry, if any, as they
may think necessary, shall grant or refuse such licence:

(3)Each licence shall contain a description of the site of the factory or
station erected or proposed to be erected as aforesaid, and no such factory or
station shall be removed from the site in the said licence described to any
other site, unless and until such other site shall have been approved by the
fishery authority, and their approval shall have been endorsed on the licence:

(4)The licence shall specify the number of whaling steamers (not exceeding
three) that may be used or employed by the holder, and no whaling steamer in
excess of the number specified in the licence shall be used or employed by the
holder:

(5)No licence shall be granted except to a British subject or to a company
registered in Great Britain or Ireland:

(6)The fishery authority may at any time, on the application of the holder of
a licence, cancel the licence; but it shall not be lawful to transfer or
assign any licence without the consent of the fishery authority, and any
transfer or assignment shall be endorsed upon the licence:

(7)There shall be paid to the fishery authority in respect of every licence
issued under the provisions of this Act a sum of two hundred pounds if the
licence authorises the use or employment of three whaling steamers, the sum of
one hundred and fifty pounds if the licence authorises the use or employment
of two whaling steamers, and the sum of one hundred pounds if the licence
authorises the use or employment of one whaling steamer, and such sum shall be
paid to the fishery authority on the issue of the licence and thereafter
annually during its continuance:

(8)Every licence shall be subject to all the conditions contained in this Act,
or any byelaw made in pursuance of this Act, and it shall be lawful for the
fishery authority, in the event of the infringement of any such condition by
the holder of a licence, or of the conviction of such holder or any person
employed by him of an offence under this Act, or under any byelaw made in
pursuance of this Act, without compensation to cancel any licence or to
suspend any licence for a specified period.
