Grant of pensions to former judges of Dáil Supreme Court. 2.—(1) The Minister for Justice may, with the sanction of the Minister for Finance, grant to any person who held office as a judge of the Dáil Supreme Court a pension for his life at such rate as the Minister for Justice shall, with the sanction of the Minister for Finance, think proper but not exceeding two-thirds of the annual salary of which such person was in receipt as a judge of the Dáil Supreme Court immediately before he ceased to hold office as such judge. (2) Every pension granted under this section shall, subject to the provisions of this Act relating to the suspension of pensions and the avoidance of double pensions, be payable to the person to whom such pension is granted as from the date on which the annual salary of such person as a judge of the Dáil Supreme Court ceased to be paid to him. (3) Every pension granted under this section shall be charged on and payable out of the Central Fund or the growing produce thereof. Suspension of pensions granted under this Act. 3.—If any person to whom a pension is granted under this Act shall, after the date as from which such pension is payable under this Act, have been or be in receipt of any remuneration or allowance payable out of the Central Fund or out of money provided by the Oireachtas, then— (a) if and so long as such remuneration or allowance is equal to or exceeds the salary of which such person was in receipt as a judge of the Dáil Supreme Court immediately before he ceased to hold office as such judge, the pension so granted to such person shall be wholly suspended, and (b) if and so long as such remuneration or allowance is less than such salary as aforesaid, so much only of such pension shall be payable as with such remuneration or allowance will be equal to the amount of such salary, and the remainder of such pension shall abate and be suspended.
