36 Making of short term orders

(1) The Cemeteries Agency may, by order in writing given to a person who is an operator of a type or of a class of cemetery, or persons who belong to a class of such operators, require the person or persons to take such action or refrain from taking such action as is specified in the order (a
"short term order" ).

(2) The Cemeteries Agency may make a short term order if it considers the making of the order to be reasonably necessary in the public interest to prevent or lessen a serious threat or risk to the achievement of an object of this Act in the State or any part of the State pending the making of a regulation under section 31 establishing an interment industry scheme that makes provision for a mandatory code of practice requirement.

(3) As soon as practicable after making a short term order, the Cemeteries Agency must recommend to the Minister that the regulation referred to in subsection (2) be made as a matter of urgency.

(4) A short term order may be made without the concurrence of the Ministers referred to in section 31 (4).
