Special Committee Factories Bill, 1954 debate -
Friday, 11 Feb 1955

SECTION 95.

Amendments Nos. 68 and 69 may be taken together.

I move amendment No. 68 :—

In sub-section (3), page 61, lines 51 and 52, to delete " powers of entry, inspection and taking of legal proceedings " and substitute " powers of entry and inspection ".

This amendment was decided for consulting the Department of Local Government regarding the correct way of providing for power of prosecution by the sanitary authority who have duties in relation to sanitary offences and fire precautions in factories.

Mr. Lemass

Does it mean that the sanitary authority will not have power to take legal proceedings ?

This is to be read in conjunction with the amendment tabled under Section 107. What has been deleted in this amendment is being restored in a somewhat different way under Section 107.

Mr. Lemass

Very good.

Amendment agreed to.
Section as amended agreed to.
Sections 96 to 99, inclusive, agreed to.
