Ms Susan Clyne:

Under the agreement that the IMO reached in terms of the NCHDs in 2022, the data has to be verified and collected. It is the verification part of that data that we have concerns about.

There is a group set up in the HSE that is looking at this. We were at a meeting with that group last week. They are having real difficulties getting the data.

The data is corresponding with our numbers. There are breaches and no one is disputing these working hours-----
