Vol. 320 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Forest Employees' Health.

17.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry if he has given any instructions for the registration of the names of forest employees who have been exposed to the hazardous substance 245T during the past three years and if not, if he will ensure that such registration takes place in the interests of the health and welfare of the employees.

I have stated in reply to previous questions by the Deputy that the chemical 245-T in the formulation in use by my Department poses no threat to man or his environment. Accordingly, I do not accept the implications in his question the answer to which is in the negative.

Question No. 18 is for written reply.
