I share the concern of the Deputy about the number of industrial accidents and I have assisted in the establishment of the National Industrial Safety Organisation which has a mission to inculcate among workers and employers a greater awareness of the needs for higher standards of safety in industry. I will transmit to the Minister for Education the Deputy's suggestion about inculcating this awareness among students of the kind mentioned.
