Gaeltacht Industries (Amendment) Act, 1971

In short

This law amends and extends the Gaeltacht Industries Acts from 1957 to 1968, primarily by increasing financial limits for Gaeltarra Éireann and allowing for the remission of rates for certain industrial undertakings in Gaeltacht areas.

What it regulates

  • Financial limits and assistance provided by Gaeltarra Éireann.
  • The structure of the Board of Gaeltarra Éireann.
  • The remission of local rates for industrial premises in Gaeltacht areas.
  • The total amount of money available under the Principal Act.

Who it concerns

  • Gaeltarra Éireann (referred to as "the Board").
  • Local authorities.
  • Industrial undertakings in Gaeltacht areas that receive financial assistance from Gaeltarra Éireann or have premises erected, enlarged, or improved after July 20, 1965.

Key points

  • The financial limit for certain assistance by Gaeltarra Éireann, previously not exceeding ten thousand pounds, has been removed.
  • The total amount of money that can be issued out of the Central Fund or the growing produce thereof for the purposes of the Principal Act has been increased from two million pounds to six million pounds.
  • Local authorities may remit two-thirds of a rate or additional rate for certain industrial premises for ten local financial years, starting from the year after completion.
  • A remission of rates will not apply if the undertaking fails to observe the terms of financial assistance.
  • A remission cannot be granted more than once for the same erection, enlargement, or improvement.
