PURCHASE OF LAND (IRELAND) ACT 1891 - SECT 19
Extended investment of purchase money of holding.

19.(1) Where the land comprised in a holding sold to a tenant is
settled land within the meaning of the Settled Land Acts, 1882 to
1890, and the purchase money for such holding is received by the
trustees of the settlement, those trustees, according to such
direction and subject to such consent (if any) as is required by
the Settled Land Acts, 1882 to 1890, may in their discretion invest
the money not only on any security authorised by the Settled Land
Acts, 1882 to 1890, but also in any other securities the investment
in which is consented to by the person who, next after the then
tenant for life and his or her wife or husband, is entitled to
the money for his life or for any greater interest, and if such
person is under disability, the consent may be given in manner
provided by section seventy-three of the Landed Estates Court Act.

(2) Where the persons so entitled are trustees they may give the
said consent without incurring any liability, and may give it before
the agreement for sale is made, and where the persons so entitled
are entitled as tenants in common, a majority of the persons
representing more than half the value of the whole of the property
of such tenants in common may give the said consent.

(3) In the case of settled land, if there are no trustees of the
settlement, trustees may be appointed under the Settled Land Acts,
1882 to 1890, before any such agreement for sale is made, and the
trustees of the settlement may, before any such agreement for sale
is made, consent to the securities in which money arising from any
sale is to be invested.

(4) This section shall not authorise an investment in any security
specifically forbidden by the settlement, unless such investment be
authorised by the Settled Land Acts, 1882 to 1890, but shall have
effect notwithstanding any general prohibition of investing in
securities not mentioned in the settlement.

due to the Land Commission, and if, within the time limited by
