Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
46. Deputy Mick Barry asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has considered the offer of the International Transport Federation to carry out health and safety inspections on fishing vessels at no cost to the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22523/16]
View answerI have not received any offer of the kind referred to by the Deputy. Moreover, the statutory responsibility for carrying out health and safety inspections on fishing vessels, to the extent that they are places of work, lies with the Health and Safety Authority, which is under the aegis of my Colleague, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
