Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 145:

In page 71, line 52, to delete €100,000 and substitute €500,000.

I propose to increase the penalty in section 92 for indictable offences relating to road authorities and others who endanger railway safety through failure to maintain works on a public road in the vicinity of a railway structure. I propose to increase this penalty from €100,000 to €500,000 as a failure to maintain works is a serious offence and is worthy of a higher penalty.
