Michael Moynihan
Question:73 Mr. Moynihan asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport the reason the official weather forecast broadcast over the national television and radio channels on 4 June 1990 by officials of his Department did not advise the public that the forecast was being projected on a seriously depleted information network due to industrial action in ten of the 15 data collection stations in the country; and his views on whether this omission erodes public confidence in the weather forecasts of the meteorological service of his Department.
