These regulations further amend the Local Government (Compensation for Premature Retirement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1983 (the principal Regulations) to extend their application to the Laganside Corporation.

Employing authorities specified in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations, whose employees have ceased their employment through redundancy or in the interests of the efficiency of their employing authorities, can compensate them in certain cases by the award of additional years of service. These regulations ensure that the compensation provisions will apply to the Laganside Corporation.
