Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 10, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:

"(2) Notwithstanding section 69 of the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act 2001, this Act applies to any railway works authorised by a railway order under section 43 of that Act".

The purpose of this amendment is to make clear that the Bill applies to workers authorised by railway orders under the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act 2001. The Luas system was pursuant to such an order. While section 69 of the 2001 Act was not intended in any way to exclude application of this Bill to work such as that connected with the Luas, it is prudent to make clear that the section cannot be misinterpreted.
