The Orders designate the lands described in the Schedule to the Orders in accordance with section 34(2) of the Act and prohibit the removal or disturbance of limestone on or in that land.

Any person who is aggrieved by any of the Orders and desires to question its validity on the grounds that it is not within the powers of section 34 of the said Act of 1981, or that any of the requirements of Schedule 11 of that Act had not been complied with in relation to it, may within 6 weeks from the date of this notice make an application to the High Court under paragraph 7 of Schedule 11 to the 1981 Act.
