82 Contributors transferring from recognised superannuation schemes S. 82(1) amended by No. 46/1998 (1) In this section ***recognised superannuation scheme*** means a fund approved by the Minister by instrument for the purposes of this section. (2) If within the period of 6 months immediately before becoming an officer a person was a contributor to a recognised superannuation scheme, the Board may permit him or her to contribute to the Fund without medical examination at a rate and on the terms determined by the Board. S. 82(3) repealed by No. 40/2010 s. 93. S. 82(4) amended by No. 110/1993 s. 89, repealed by No. 40/2010 s. 93. (5) If at any time the Board is satisfied that an officer referred to in subsection (2) has the right to retain a pension entitlement in the fund to which he or she formerly contributed, it may vary the rate at which and the terms under which it permitted the officer to contribute to the Fund but so that his or her entitlement to pension from both funds, if he or she were to exercise his or her right to retain a pension entitlement in the former fund, would not be less in total than the pension entitlement provided by the rate originally agreed to between the Board and the officer. S. 82(6) substituted by No. 81/1988 s. 33(m). (6) If the Board has received a transfer of money or other assets from a recognised superannuation scheme the Board must determine the additional benefits for the officers for whom the transfer has been made having regard to the amount of money or assets transferred, the periods of membership and the contributions (if any) of the officers under that recognised superannuation scheme and any benefits paid to the officers from that recognised superannuation scheme.
