=16.=--(1) Until all charges which are payable out of the Church property
in Ireland, and are guaranteed by the Treasury, have been fully paid, the
Irish Land Commission shall continue as heretofore to exist, with such
Commissioners and officers receiving such salaries as the Treasury may
from time to time appoint, and to administer the Church property and apply
the income and other moneys receivable therefrom; and so much of the
salaries of such Commissioners and officers and expenses of the office as
is not paid out of the Church property shall be paid out of moneys carried
to the Customs and Excise account under this Act, and if these moneys are
insufficient, out of the Consolidated Fund of Ireland, and if not so paid,
shall be paid out of the moneys provided by Parliament. Provided as
follows:--
(_a_) All charges on the Church property for which a guarantee has
been given by the Treasury before the passing of this Act shall, so
far as they are not paid out of such property, be paid out of the
moneys carried to the Customs and Excise account under this Act, and
if such moneys are insufficient, the Consolidated Fund of Ireland,
without prejudice nevertheless to the guarantee of the Treasury;
(_b_) All charges on the Church property, for which no guarantee has
been given by the Treasury before the passing of this Act shall be
charged on the Consolidated Fund of Ireland, but shall not be
guaranteed by the Treasury nor charged on the Consolidated Fund of the
United Kingdom.
(2) Subject to any existing charges on the Church property, such property
shall belong to the Irish Government and any portion of the annual revenue
thereof which the Treasury, on the application of the Irish Government,
certify at the end of any financial year not to be required for meeting
charges, shall be paid over and applied as part of the public revenues
under the control of the Irish Government.
