Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

We had a lengthy discussion on this subject, particularly during Committee Stage of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Bill 2005. Has the Minister of State had any contact with the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform in this regard? Does he regard this as part of his role in strengthening the legislation, which clearly needs to be strengthened given the 42 deaths that have occurred in the workplace this year? Will such interdepartmental contact, if initiated, deal with corporate manslaughter legislation?
