Mr. Murphy
Part II of the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1948, which deals with officers, was brought into operation by an Order made on the 1st April.
A local authority may, by resolution, decide to adopt Part III of the Act, which deals with superannuation schemes for servants, as on and from a date not earlier than one month after the date of the resolution.
