CONSTABULARY AND POLICE (IRELAND) ACT 1919 - SECT 2

Prohibition against constables being members of trade unions.

2.(1) Subject as aforesaid, it shall not be lawful for a member of either
police force to become, or after the expiration of one month from the passing
of this Act to be, a member of any trade union, or of any association of which
the objects or one of the objects are or is to control or influence the pay,
pensions, or conditions of service of any police force; and any member of
either force who contravenes this provision shall be disqualified for
continuing to be a member of the force; and if any member of either force
continues to act as such after becoming so disqualified he shall forfeit all
pension rights and be disqualified for being thereafter employed in any police
force:

Provided that, where a man was a member of a trade union before becoming a
member of the force, he may, with the consent of the chief officer, continue
to be a member of that union during the time of his service in the force.

(2) If any question arises whether any body or association is a trade union or
association to which this section applies, the question shall be determined by
the Lord Lieutenant.
