I ask the leave of the Dáil to introduce the Superannuation and Pensions Bill to amend the law relating to superannuation, and to authorise the granting of pensions to certain classes.
The purposes are to make provision for Civil Servants employed in the old Dáil Department, to provide for victimised public servants, to provide pensions for wounds or deaths in respect of members of the C.I.D., the Citizens' Defence Force, and the Protective Force; to provide for a revision of the pensions to certain pensionable National School teachers; to enable arrangements to be made with the British Government regarding the operation of the Superannuation Acts as respects transferred officers.
Leave to introduce Bill granted.
