Vol. 560 No. 3
190 Mr. P. Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps she has taken to establish the office of public safety regulation as recommended in the report of the interdepartmental/agency review group entitled, A Review of Public Safety in Ireland of July 2000; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2596/03]
The interdepartmental/agency review group on public safety examined the State's approach to public safety and among its recommendations was the proposed establishment of an agency to deal specifically with public safety regulation.
The issues concerning the regulation of public safety are being dealt with by a number of Departments and public bodies. It may therefore be a matter for some form of a more co-ordinated approach to address the issues involved rather than setting up a brand new agency.
