Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I am not aware of any change in how health and safety issues have been dealt with. Whatever way they were dealt with in the first place, I understand they are dealt with in the same manner now. I am not aware of what was in the 1997 Act regarding health and safety but if a freedom of information question was asked regarding health and safety, to do with lifts or stairs, or other related disability issues, I cannot understand why that information would not be given by my Department. I am aware of no change in how queries regarding the Health and Safety Act are dealt with.
