The trust permits ‘Catherine Nolan to have, receive, take and enjoy the said rents, issues and profits as and for her own sole use … and to suffer her the said Catherine Nolan to dispose of the same … as she shall think proper to and amongst her issue by the said Patrick Joseph Nolan (if any) and also to and amongst all or any of the children by a former marriage provided that the said Catherine Nolan should have the power to limit and appoint any part of the property … to and amongst such issue with all necessary and proper limitations and restrictions’.
