Civil Service Regulation Act, 1956 (Ireland) (irishstatutebook.ie)

• Established civil servants hold office until retirement age (65); unestablished servants serve at pleasure with notice requirements.
• Sections 13-14 detail suspension procedures: a suspended servant may receive reduced pay or no pay pending inquiry.
• Section 10 required women to retire upon marriage (since repealed by later equality legislation).

"The Civil Service Regulation Act, 1956, governs the tenure, discipline, suspension, retirement, and re-admission of Irish civil servants. It defines established and unestablished positions, sets retirement age at 65, and provides procedures for suspension and disciplinary action. The Act also addresses the retirement of women upon marriage (since repealed). Enacted on 19 December 1956, it remains a foundational statute for Irish civil service law."
