Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 November 2004
358 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport if it is his intention to proceed with the Railway Safety Bill as published, plus amendments; if he will withdraw the Bill and replace it with one which will accommodate the substance of the final EU directive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31012/04]
View answerIt is my intention to take Report and Final Stages of the Railway Safety Bill in Dáil Éireann in the new year session.
The Bill, as amended in the Select Committee on Transport, already takes account of the substance of the railway safety directive which was adopted earlier this year. The remaining technical matters contained in the directive will be handled through the transposition of the directive into Irish law next year.
