In the absence of details of the alleged illegal practices, I am not in a position to supply specific information on the Deputy's question. I will, of course, be happy to respond on receipt of the information.
However, I am aware of recent complaints in the media against the company concerned, which made references to alleged bullying. My Department referred these complaints to the health and safety authority for investigation. The authority has confirmed that the company concerned has an up-to-date and comprehensive anti-bullying policy which is in compliance with the authority's code of practice. I also understand that no complaint of alleged bullying in the company concerned has been made to the authority but if such a complaint is received it will be duly investigated.
