The enabling provision for Dublin City (Borough Electoral Areas) Order 1930 [Vol. XIV p. 1363] S.R.& O. No. 54 of 1930 is Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930 (27/1930), s. 33. This was repealed by Local Government (Dublin) Act 1993 (31/1993), s. 4 and sch. 1 part 1, subject to a power to continue certain regulations in s. 39 which does not appear to have been exercised. S.R.& O. No. 54 of 1930 appears therefore no longer to be in effect, but should be revoked for avoidance of doubt.

► 25.7. Local Loans Fund 127
127
According to Brendan Howlin, Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, "The Local Loans Fund was created as a mechanism to provide loans to local authorities for various purposes including on-lending to individual house purchasers under the Small Dwellings Acts. Funds were made available to the Local Loans Fund from general Exchequer sources, which would include general Exchequer borrowing. ... The Local Loans Fund is no longer used as a mechanism to provide loans to local authorities. ... All repayments by local authorities to the Local Loans Fund flow into the Exchequer." (Dáil Éireann Debates Vol. 751 No. 1, 11 January 2012). This legislation may therefore be obsolete.
