Liúntais fhorlíontacha do lámh-oibrithe áirithe.
4.—Féadfaidh an Bord, más oiriúnach leo, liúntas forlíontach ar feadh a shaoil a dheonú do dhuine, agus a íoc le duine—

(c) atá ag fáil phinsin faoi scéim aoisliúntais na lámh-oibrithe (de réir brí Acht 1942),
is liúntas forlíontach ar comhionann a mhéid iomlán i dteannta méid bhliantúil an phinsin réamhráite agus—
(i) leath ráta bhliantúil an luach saothair a d'íoc an Bord leis an duine díreach sular scoir sé d'fhostaíocht faoin mBord, nó
(ii) leath méid an phinsin ab iníoctha leis an duine réamhráite dá ndéanfaí iomlán a sheirbhíse leanúnaí i bhfostaíocht faoin mBord a áireamh chuige sin,
cibé acu is lú.
Feidhm Acht 1942 a leathnú.
