Paragraph 3
Where, in relation to a road which becomes a trunk road on the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, any local authority has incurred, on or after the sixth day of July nineteen hundred and thirty-six, a liability to pay compensation as the result of—
a refusal to give consent, or the attaching of conditions to a consent, before the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-seven under section one or section two of the Restriction of Ribbon Development Act, 1935;
the prescribing of a building line under section five of the Roads Improvement Act, 1925; or
the prescribing of an improvement line under section thirty-three of the Public Health Act, 1925;
the Minister shall, if he is satisfied that the liability was incurred wholly or partly for the purpose of securing that the road should be of adequate width or of controlling the access to the road, pay to the authority such sum as in his opinion represents the extent of the liability reasonably incurred for those purposes or either of them.
