4.—(1) The rights conferred by this Act on every person whose name is set out in the second column of the Schedule to this Act to receive the allowance or gratuity stated in the fourth column of the said Schedule opposite the name of such person in the said second column shall be in substitution for the right of such person to receive from the local authority named in the first column of the said Schedule opposite the name of such person in the said second column an allowance or gratuity in respect of such person having ceased before the passing of this Act to hold office under such local authority, and every such last-mentioned right, whether arising under section 8 of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1919, or any other Act or otherwise, shall immediately upon the passing of this Act become and be void and unenforceable as from the date on which such right first accrued. | |
