(2) The Industrial Training Levy (Textiles Industry) Order, 1970 ( S.I. No. 131 of 1970 ) and this Order may be cited together as the Industrial Training Levy (Textiles Industry) Orders, 1970 and 1973.

(3) This Order shall come into operation on the 16th day of April, 1973.

2. Article 5 of the Industrial Training Levy (Textiles Industry) Order, 1970, is hereby deleted and the following Article substituted therefor:--

" 5. (1) The levy shall be assessed by An Chomhairle separately in respect of each establishment of an employer: provided that, in case an employer agrees to a single assessment being made to cover any two or more such establishments, such an assessment may be made.

(2) In case an assessment is made to cover two or more establishments, the establishments to which the assessment relates shall, for the purposes of this Order, be deemed to be one establishment.

(3) The levy assessed in respect of an establishment of an employer shall be an amount equal to--

( a ) in case the employer has made a return of the sum of the emoluments of all persons employed by the employer at or from that establishment in the first base period--1 per cent of that sum, or

( b ) in any other case--1 per cent of the sum estimated by An Chomhairle to be the sum of the emoluments of all persons so employed in such period.

(4) An establishment of an employer in respect of which the return referred to at Article 5 (3) (a) has been made or in respect of which a sum has been estimated under Article 5 (3) (b) shall be exempt from levy in any case in which the total sum so returned or estimated amounts to less than £10,001.

(5) The amount to be assessed in respect of the levy in relation to an establishment which ceases to carry on business in the first levy period shall be the amount which bears the same proportion to the amount which, but for this paragraph, would be due under this Article as the number of days in the period beginning on the date of the commencement of the said levy period and ending on the date of cessation of business bears to the number of days in the said levy period."

3. Article 2 shall be deemed to have come into operation on the same date on which the Industrial Training Levy (Textiles Industry) Order, 1970, came into operation.
