Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Railway Safety Act (Northern Ireland) 2002. The Department for Regional Development (“the Department”) has prepared them to assist with a proper understanding of the Act. They do not however form part of the Act.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They do not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. Accordingly, where a section or part of a section or Schedule does not seem to require explanation or comment, none is given.
