(1)  This section applies to a person who makes contributions to the contributory scheme by virtue of employment in 2 or more positions or capacities in one or more Agencies, if the employment in at least one, but not all, of those positions or capacities qualifies him or her to be a member of that scheme.

(2)  If, before the commencement of the Retirement Benefits (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2001 , an account had been established in the non-contributory scheme, or the accumulation scheme, (each within the meaning of the Retirement Benefits Act 1993 ) for a person to whom this section applies, that account is taken to have been validly established.

(3)  The contributions of a person to whom this section applies and benefit entitlements under the contributory scheme are to be determined without regard to any employment that does not qualify the person to contribute to that scheme.
