CONSTABULARY AND POLICE (IRELAND) ACT 1883 - SECT 6

Reduction of pension granted on ground of incapacity.

6.Subs.(1)(3) rep. by SLR 1976

(4) Where a pension is granted to a constable who has served for less than
fifteen years on the ground of his being incapacitated by infirmity of mind or
body for the discharge of his duty, and the Inspector General is, before the
expiration of such time as would together with the period of his service prior
to the grant of the pension make up a period of twenty-five years, satisfied,
by the evidence of some legally qualified medical practitioner or
practitioners employed or approved by him, or otherwise, that such incapacity
has partly ceased, the Inspector General may, subject to the limits in the
pension scale, reduce permanently or temporarily the pension granted to such
constable.

(5) If a constable fails or refuses, when so required by the Inspector
General, to be examined by some legally qualified medical practitioner or
practitioners employed or approved by such Inspector General, the Inspector
General shall have the same power of... reducing the pension of such constable
as he would have under this section if satisfied by the evidence of any such
practitioner that the incapacity of such constable had wholly or partly
ceased.
