This Order fixes the rate of interest on certain expenses recoverable from owners of premises under the Public Health (Ireland) Act 1878. The rate is 0.5% below the standard rate applying from time to time. The standard rate is the base rate quoted by the seven largest banks authorised under the Banking Act 1987 on the reference day falling on 1st July 1996 and on any subsequent such days.

This Order also revokes the interest on Recoverable Sanitation Expenses Order (Northern Ireland) 1994.
