Constitution of Irish branches of British Societies into Provisional Irish Societies.

3.—Where immediately before the first day of April, 1922, a British Society had one or more Irish branches, then, as from the said first day of April, the branch, if there is only one, shall be deemed to have become a Provisional Irish Society, and the branches, if more than one, shall be deemed to have become branches of a Provisional Irish Society with branches:

Provided that if arrangements are made for the purpose between the Insurance Commissioners and the Joint Committee, the central body of the British Society may continue until the appointed day to exercise as respects such Provisional Society or branches the like powers of control and management as would have been exercisable by it if Saorstát Eireann had not been established and the Society or branches had remained a branch or branches of the British Society.
