(2) The Industrial Training Levy (Clothing and Footwear Industry) Order, 1970 ( S.I. No. 270 of 1970 ) and this Order may be cited together as the Industrial Training Levy (Clothing and Footwear 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 (Clothing and Footwear 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 the sum remaining after the deduction of £10,000 from the said sum, or

( b ) in any other case--1 per cent of the sum remaining after the deduction of £10,000 from the sum estimated by An Chomhairle to be the emoluments of all persons employed by the employer at or from the establishment in the first base period.

(4) 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 of this Order shall be deemed to have come into operation on the same date on which the Industrial Training Levy (Clothing and Footwear Industry) Order, 1970 came into operation.

4. The provisions of this Order shall apply notwithstanding any notice of assessment served by An Chomhairle under the Industrial Training Levy (Clothing and Footwear Industry) Order, 1970 or any appeal or other proceedings arising out of such notice or the payment of any levy already assessed under such Order. Any such notice of assessment shall be construed as if the amount stated therein was reduced to the amount payable pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 of this Order.
