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.
