MINES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 126

126.(1) Without prejudice to subsection (2), the first-class and second-class
certificates of competency referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Act
shall be granted by the Ministry on the recommendation of the Mining
Qualifications Board constituted under section 148 of the Mines and Quarries
Act 1954.

(2) Where application is made to the Ministry for a first-class or, as the
case may be, a second-class certificate by a person who satisfies the Ministry
that he is the holder of such a certificate granted under section 147 of the
Mines and Quarries Act 1954 or any enactment repealed by that Act,
the Ministry may grant the certificate applied for without referring the
application to the Mining Qualifications Board.

(3) There shall be payable to the Ministry by persons who seek the grant of
certificates under subsection (1) or subsection (2) such fees as may be
determined by the Ministry with the approval of the Ministry of Finance.

(4) If any certificate granted by the Ministry under this section is defaced,
lost or destroyed, the Ministry may, on payment of such fee, if any, as
the Ministry may, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance, determine and
on such terms as to evidence as the Ministry thinks fit (and, in a case in
which the certificate is defaced, on the surrender thereof) issue a duplicate
of the certificate.
