Railway Safety Bill 2001: Committee Stage.
11:00 am
Ivor Callely (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)
This amendment relates to section 111(3). On the advice of the Parliamentary Counsel, I decided to rebalance the penalties for offences, thereby increasing the maximum financial penalty and reducing the maximum prison term. These are more appropriate penalties, as now stated. I am sure the Members will agree that this will give the system useful and appropriate flexibility.
