Workmen's Compensation Act, 1934

Condition as to residence.

32.—(1) If a workman receiving a weekly payment ceases to reside in Saorstát Eireann, he shall thereupon cease to be entitled to receive any weekly payment unless the medical practitioner of the employer certifies that it is desirable, owing to the condition of health of the workman, that the workman should reside outside Saorstát Eireann, or a medical referee certifies that the incapacity resulting from the injury is likely to be of a permanent nature.

(2) If the medical practitioner of the employer or a medical referee so certifies the workman shall be entitled to receive quarterly the amount of the weekly payments accruing due during the preceding quarter so long as he proves, in such manner and at such intervals as may be appointed by rules of court, his identity and the continuance of the incapacity in respect of which the weekly payment is payable.
