In the case of three of the incidents in question, which relate to industrial explosions in counties Cork, Waterford and Dublin, files have been prepared by the Health and Safety Authority and submitted to the Chief State Solicitor's Office with a view to prosecutions. The Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on these cases in the circumstances.
A further incident involving fire and explosion of a propane gas storage tank during the refueling of a forklift truck at a canning factory in Waterford is still under investigation by the Health and Safety Authority.
