Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Workmen's Compensation Commission.
The Commission on Workmen's Compensation was appointed on the 21st December, 1955. Twenty-eight meetings were held in 1956 and 30 in 1957. I have been informed by the chairman that, pending the receipt of certain information which has been sought by the commission, it has not been possible to hold any meetings so far this year. I am also informed that while a date cannot be fixed it is hoped to have the report ready within the next 12 months.
