Cork City Management Act, 1929

Deputy Manager.

19.—(1) If and whenever the Manager is through illness, absence from the Borough, or suspension from performance of his duties, temporarily incapable of exercising the powers and functions and performing the duties conferred and imposed on him by this Act, a Deputy Manager may be appointed under this section for the duration of such incapacity but may with the consent of the Minister be removed under this section at any time during such incapacity.

(2) Where the incapacity of the Manager is due to absence from the Borough, the power of appointing the Deputy Manager under this section may be exercised by the Manager, after consultation with the Lord Mayor, before and in contemplation of the incapacity, but in every other case, that is to say, where the incapacity of the Manager is due to illness or suspension and also where the incapacity of the Manager is due to absence from the Borough and a Deputy Manager is not appointed under this section before such incapacity or having been so appointed is removed under this section during such incapacity, the power of appointing the Deputy Manager under this section shall be exercisable at any time during such incapacity by the Lord Mayor only.

(3) In every case the power of removing the Deputy Manager under this section shall be exercisable by the Lord Mayor only.

(4) The Deputy Manager shall during the continuance of the incapacity on account of which he is appointed or until he is sooner removed under this section have all the powers and shall exercise and perform all the functions and duties of the Manager and for that purpose all references in this Act to the Manager (other than the references to the Manager in this section and the references in this Act to the appointment, tenure of office and remuneration of the Manager) shall be construed as including the Deputy Manager.

(5) There shall be paid by the Council to the Deputy Manager such remuneration (if any) as the Minister shall determine and the amount of such remuneration shall be raised by the Council by means of the same rate as the rate by which the salary of the Town Clerk is raised.
