13. The pay of the chief superintendent, superintendents, inspectors, acting inspectors, station sergeants, sergeants, acting sergeants, and constables of the Dublin Metropolitan Police shall be according to the rates specified in that behalf in the Third Schedule to this Act.

Provided that where any member of the force is at the time of the passing of this Act in receipt of a higher rate of pay than the rate specified in the said schedule in relation to such person, nothing contained in this Act shall be taken to reduce the rate of pay which such person is entitled to receive.

There shall be deducted from the pay provided by this Act for each member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police below the rank of inspector the sum of one shilling and twopence by the week for every week during which lodging accommodation in any barrack or elsewhere, or an allowance in lieu thereof, is supplied for him out of moneys provided by Parliament or out of local rates; provided that such deduction shall not be made from the pay of any supernumerary constable.
