Go n-aontuíonn Dáil Eireann le daingniú do dhéanamh i gcóir Shaorstáit Eireann ar an gConvensiún i dtaobh Cúitimh do Lucht Oibre i nGalair Chéirde agus le glaca leis an Mola i dtaobh Cúitimh do Lucht Oibre i nGalair Chéirde le n-ar glacadh an 10adh Meitheamh, 1925, ag an Seachtú Siosón a bhí ag Códháil Idirnáisiúnta an Oibreachais i nGeneva.
That Dáil Eireann approves of the ratification in respect of Saorstát Eireann of the Convention concerning Workmen's Compensation for Occupational Diseases and of the acceptance of the Recommendation concerning Workmen's Compensation for Occupational Diseases adopted on the 10th June, 1925, at the Seventh Session of the International Labour Conference held in Geneva.
This Convention and this recommendation have both been circulated. I want to call attention to the fact, with regard to the Convention, that it provides that compensation shall be payable to workmen incapacitated by certain occupational diseases detailed in the Schedule to the Convention. These diseases are already included in the list of diseases in respect of which compensation is payable under the existing legislation. The Convention therefore can be ratified at once. The same type of remark would apply to the recommendation. The recommendation simply asks that provision should be made for revising the list of diseases classified as occupational in national legislation. That recommendation is covered by Section 8 of the Workmen's Compensation Act of 1906. The recommendation can be accepted without necessitating any change in existing legislation.
