CONSTABULARY AND POLICE (IRELAND) ACT 1883 - SECT 5 

Reckoning of service in other police forces for pension.

5.(1) In reckoning the service of a constable for the purposes of this Act,
approved service in any other police force, or if he has served in more than
one, then in each police force in which he served for not less than three
years approved service, and from which with the written sanction of the chief
officer of that force he removed to another force, or to the Royal Irish
Constabulary, shall be reckoned as service in the Royal Irish Constabulary;
and the length of service which a constable is entitled to reckon in the
police force from which he removes shall be stated in the said written
sanction, or shall otherwise be sent in writing by the chief officer of that
force to the Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary on the removal
of the constable into the Royal Irish Constabulary. For the purposes of
this Act, approved service shall mean such continuous service as may, after
deduction, if any, for sickness, misconduct, or other cause, be established to
the satisfaction of the police authority having the control of such police
force, to have been diligent and faithful service.

(2) Where a constable with the knowledge of the Inspector General belongs to
the army reserve, his absence when called out for training or for permanent
service shall not prevent his service in the constabulary being deemed to be
continuous service for the purposes of this Act, and he shall be entitled on
returning to the Constabulary after the end of such absence, to reckon any
service which he was entitled to reckon at the commencement thereof.
