Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development

Indemnity: Discussion

Mr. Tom McHugh:

No, but I am aware of the signing, lighting and guarding requirements that apply to both our own staff and contractor staff. There are very stringent requirements for that. In the event of something going wrong, there are not only the insurance consequences. There are also criminal consequences regarding the person who has put those situations in place. It is not simply an insurance cover element because in the event of something going wrong, the HSA would ordinarily get involved and there are potential criminal prosecutions and investigations involved.
