MEETINGS OF THE COUNCIL.
9th July.
Twenty-seven Members present.
Estate
Duty.
In reply to an inquiry from a member,
the Council expressed
the opinion
that
where a deceased who was domiciled in
the Irish Free State leaves Irish Free State
assets and English assets, the convenient
procedure to obtain a grant is in the first
instance to pass
in London a Schedule
of the English assets and pay the duty
thereon, and then proceed to obtain a grant
in the Irish Free State. Upon production of
the receipt for duty paid on the English assets
no duty will be claimed to be payable in
the Irish Free State on the English assets,
when applying to obtain a grant in the
Irish Free State.

In response to a request from a member
it was resolved to request the Inland Revenue
authorities to have Land Registrj^ stamps
kept on sale at the Law Courts, Dublin
Castle, and at College Green Post Office,
in addition to the Ormond Quay Post Office.
Stamp Adjudication Office.
In response to a request from a member
it was resolved to request the Inland Revenue
authorities to have the number of the staff
of the Inland Revenue Adjudication Office
increased,
and
that attendance
should
be given in the office up to four o'clock p.m.
23rd July.
Twenty-eight Members present.
