Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael)

I apologise that my colleague, Deputy Hogan, was unable to attend this afternoon. Like Deputy Howlin, I hope the passage of the legislation will help to save lives in the workplace, especially at industrial and farm facilities. I hope also the Minister of State will consider the view that extra inspectors are required to enforce the Bill's provisions. As his constituency colleague, I commend the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, on how well he has handled his second Bill.
