Railway Safety (Reporting and Investigation of Serious Accidents, Accidents and Incidents Involving Certain Railways) Bill 2020: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-10-23
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I welcome the Minister and congratulate him on his appointment. I have not had the opportunity to do that. This Bill is a technical one and deserves the support of the entire House. Two points occur to me. On cross-Border railway operations post-Brexit, will there be special arrangements for the extension of these EU powers or will this have any implications for that? I would like to hear the Minister on that. I will not ask him about metro underground. I will save that for a more relevant occasion. However, may I stray slightly into the area of irrelevance?
