local authority, will exceed twice the annual rateable value of the
property, in the municipal borough, town, or area; or
(ii.) In the case of a county or larger area, any loan which together
with the then outstanding debt of the local authority, will exceed
one-tenth of the annual rateable value of the property in the county
or area; or

without a local inquiry held in the county, borough, or area by a
person appointed for the purpose by the said department.

Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the passing of any
Irish Act with a view to the purchase of land for railways, harbours,
water-works, town improvements, or other local undertakings.
