Vol. 493 No. 1
45 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the steps, if any, taken to monitor the effectiveness of the Code of Practice for Safety at Sports Grounds; and the changes, if any, proposed. [15154/98]
As I indicated to the Deputy in my reply to his previous Dáil questions on 13 May 1998, safety at sports grounds is the responsibility, in the first instance, of those who organise events and those who own or administer the grounds or venues in which sports fixtures are held.
Issues related to crowd safety are governed by legislative provisions operating under the aegis of my colleagues the Ministers for the Environment and Local Government, Health and Children and Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
