Government of Ireland Act 1920

A.—On Retirement under the Statutory Conditions of Retirement

1 The compensation which may be awarded to the officer shall be an annual allowance, not exceeding in any case two-thirds of the salary on which the allowance is reckoned, or, if he has completed less than ten years of service as reckoned for the purposes of this provision, a gratuity.

2 The annual allowance or gratuity shall be calculated in like manner as the superannuation allowance or gratuity which the officer would be qualified to receive under the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1914, if he retired on the 'ground of ill-health, save that, for the purposes of that calculation, the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—

(a) His years of service shall be reckoned as if he had served up to the end of the transitional period, or to the time when he would have reached the age of sixty-five, whichever may be the earlier, and there shall be added-any additional years which he may be entitled to reckon under section four of the [22 Vict. c. 26.] Superannuation Act, 1859 :

(b) His salary, where there are periodical increments, shall be taken at the amount which it would have reached if he had continued to serve in the same office up to the end of the transitional period.
