3. If any person who has been serving in the office of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities shall be appointed to a situation under the Irish Land Commission, such person shall hold his situation in all respects by the same tenure and on the same conditions as the persons appointed to similar situations under the Irish Land Commission without having served in the office of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities in Ireland, except that no such person who is qualified to receive under the forty-fourth section of the Irish Church Act, 1869, an annual sum on retirement from the service of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities shall forfeit his right under that section by being appointed to a situation under the Irish Land Commission.

The annual sum on retirement which any person is qualified to receive under the said forty-fourth section of the Irish Church Act, 1869, shall be ascertained immediately after the passing of this Act, in the manner prescribed by the said section, as if the date of such person's retirement were the thirty-first day of December next after the passing of this Act, and such annual sum shall begin to be paid from that date to the person entitled to receive the same, provided that such person does not receive an appointment under the Irish Land Commission, or any other appointment of which the salary or remuneration is provided out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or out of moneys voted by Parliament. If any person to whom such an annual sum is payable receives an appointment under the Irish Land Commission, or an appointment of which the salary or remuneration is provided as last aforesaid, the payment of the said annual sum shall be subject to the same conditions as if it were a superannuation allowance or compensation within the meaning of the twentieth section of the Superannuation Act, 1834, and as if the appointment which such person has received were in all respects an appointment in a public department within the meaning of the said section.
