IRISH POLICE (NAVAL AND MILITARY SERVICE) ACT 1915 - SECT 1

1.(1) Where a constable of the Royal Irish Constabulary belongs to the Naval
Reserves or the Army Reserve and has, in pursuance of any Royal Proclamation,
been called out, in the case of a constable belonging to the Naval Reserves,
for service during war or any emergency, or in the case of a constable
belonging to the Army Reserve, on permanent service, the police authority may,
with the approval of the Treasury, grant to or for the benefit of his wife and
children or any of them, or in the case of an unmarried constable to or for
the benefit of any person whom he is legally liable to maintain and towards
whose support he has regularly contributed, an allowance of such amount and
subject to such conditions and restrictions as they think equitable:

Provided that

(a)any such allowance shall be granted for a limited period not exceeding one
year and may be renewed for a further period, but shall not be continued after
the police authority have received notice that the constable has ceased to be
employed on naval or military service;

(b)the aggregate amount of the weekly allowance granted in respect of a
married constable together with the weekly amount of any separation or other
allowance required to be paid out of naval or military funds in pursuance of
any Royal Warrant and the weekly amount of any compulsory deductions from the
constable's pay as a seaman or soldier shall not exceed the total weekly
amount he was receiving from police funds on being called out:

(c)the allowance granted in respect of an unmarried constable shall not exceed
in the aggregate [40p] a week.

(2) If the constable dies or is disabled whilst employed on naval or military
service, the police authority may, with the approval of the Treasury, grant to
his widow and children or to him [pensions and allowances in addition to the
amount payable out of naval, military or air force funds] in pursuance of any
Royal Warrant, so, however, that the total amount receivable from the
police authority when added to the amount payable from such funds as aforesaid
shall not in any case exceed the maximum amount which could have been granted
under the Constabulary and Police (Ireland) Act, 1883, as amended by any
subsequent enactment, if the death or disablement had been occasioned by an
injury received by the constable, without his own default, in the execution of
his duty as a constable and not accidentally.
