Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2010
118 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps she is taking to publish the annual reports from 1965 to 1991 of the inspector of mines under the Mines and Quarries Acts; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12644/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that Annual Reports of the Industrial Inspectorate, in latter years (from 1977 onwards) entitled Labour Inspection Reports and, since the coming into operation of the Safety Health and Welfare at Work 1989, entitled the Annual Report of the National Authority for Occupational Safety and Health were laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. These documents contain, inter alia, reports on the activities of the Inspectorate/Authority insofar as the mining and quarrying sector is concerned. The Deputy should contact the Oireachtas Library and Research Service if he wishes to access them.
