Exempted "Towns" Under section 45 L a nd Act, 1965
The requirement to obtain consent
under section 45 of the Land Act,
1965 to the vesting of an interest in
land does not apply to land situate in a
County Borough, Bojough, Urban
District or Town. A difficulty can
sometimes arise in identifying
whether a particular conurbation is in
fact a "Town" within the meaning of
the Section.
The list below has been kindly provided
to the Society by John Geraghty,
Solicitor in the Land Commission, to
whom our thanks are due.
N.B.
(a) While the Towns listed comprise
Scheduled Towns. Non-Municipal
Towns and Towns within the
meaning of the Towns Improve-
ment (Ireland) Act, 1854, for the
purpose of the Certificate one need
only use the word "Town".

Return of Allotment of
Shares
The Companies Office have
introduced a new form B5 which
is a combination of the old form 45
and the Revenue Commissioners
form 26. The new form eliminates the
need to lodge two separate forms
when an allotment of shares
is made.
The new form was introduced with
effect from the beginning of
November, 1993. The Companies
Office will, however, continue to
accept returns of the old form 45 for a
limited period after that date.
The new form B5 ought to be lodged
with the Revenue Commissioners,
Companies Capital Duty Section,
Dublin Castle, who will assess the
capital duty payable and collect both
the duty payable and the Companies
Office IR£5 fee. The Revenue
Commissioners will forward the form
to the Companies Office for
registration.
The Company and Commercial Law
Committee has made representations
to the Companies Office concerning
the new form B5.
