Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 11:

In page 21, line 12, to delete "2004" and substitute "2007".

Section 26 enables the Railway Safety Commission to impose an annual levy on railway undertakings to recoup some or all of the cost of its regulation of railway safety. Section 26(2) of the Bill, as amended, on Committee Stage states this levy may not be imposed before 31 December 2004. The purpose of this amendment is to extend that date by three years because of the delays in enactment of the Bill.
