Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2009
122 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she has received a reply from the National Employment Rights Authority and the Health and Safety Authority in response to Parliamentary Question No. 144 of 9 December 2008; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5622/09]
View answerAs I indicated in my reply on 9 December, I referred the matter raised by the Deputy at that time to the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) and the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) for investigation by them as the authorities with responsibility in that regard. The investigations are day-to-day operational matters for those bodies and are not matters in which I have a function. Accordingly, I do not as a matter of course receive reports on the progress or outcome of individual cases.
