“28B. (1) Subject to the provisions of the next subsection, regulations made with the sanction of the Minister for Finance may provide for entitling to death grant persons who would be entitled thereto but for the fact that the contribution condition set out in subparagraph (b) of paragraph 7 of the Fourth Schedule to this Act is not satisfied.

(3) Subject to the provisions of the next subsection, regulations made with the sanction of the Minister for Finance may provide for entitling to retirement pension persons who would be entitled thereto but for the fact that the relevant contribution conditions are not satisfied as respects the average number of contributions paid or credited per contribution year.
