Practice Note — Extension of
Period of Validity of Sub
Division Consents
The Land Commission has decided to extend the
period for which certain consents are valid. The form
of consent most commonly used by the Commission
to date provides that the consent is valid for a period
of 12 months. The Commission has now decided to
extend the initial period of validity to 3 years.
The arrangement will not apply to consents in the
case of applications in respect of non agricultural
properties e.g. for building purposes where the
consents are not subject to any time limit.•
Value Added Tax
In a letter to the Society, dated 27 August, 1982
the Revenue Commissioners have stated that:— 'the
normal practice is to give two week's notice of visits
for inspections of accounts for VAT purposes. This
practice will be extended to solicitors and meets the
requirements of the Society's Taxation Committee.•
Narrow Victory for Visiting
Cricketers
No more exciting conclusion could have been
prescribed for the first cricket match between teams
representing the Incorporated Law Society of
Ireland and the Law Society of England and Wales
than that which took place. The match was played at
Castle Avenue, Clontarf on the 9th August and with
only one ball remaining, the visitors needed 6 runs to
win. Their leading scorer Price — Rowlands struck a
resounding blow which carried the boundary and
won the day.
The start of the match was delayed as a result of
morning rain which restricted the length of the game
aside. The Irish side batted first and, thanks largely
to David Martin (62) and Eamonn Delahunty (25),
totalled 126 for 8 wickets in their allotted open.
The visitors at first scored steadily thanks to
contributions from Rowes (25) and Sutton —
Mathews (24) but their scoring rate later fell below
the required rate. The arrival of Price - Rowland who
ended with an unbeaten 26 led to a speeding up of the
scoring rate and ultimately put the visitors within
sight of victory. Gerry Kirwan was the most
successful of the home bowlers taking two wickets for
42 in 14 overs.
The visiting side also played games against the
Leprechauns and Halverstown during their short
tour.n

client proposes; talk the client through the
circumstances to see whether the intentions seem
well-founded or the implications fully understood.
Wherever possible, retain intact all revoked Wills.
Above all, keep comprehensive attendance records —
despite every care by the profession, the con-
sequences of unfortunate decisions taken by our
elderly clients will, in the main, be sorted out long
after the event.•
