The reconvened task force on railway safety has completed a detailed review of proposals from Iarnrod Éireann for both the infrastructural and safety management systems elements of a railway safety programme for the period 2004-08. Iarnród Éireann is now preparing a revised composite draft of the programme taking account of the views expressed by the task force. This draft will be considered by the task force in early April, after which it will endeavour to bring its work to an early conclusion. I will then bring the new five year railway safety programme to Government for approval. The programme will be published following that approval.
