As indicated in reply to Question No. 662 of 21 February 2006, arrangements for the transfer of the fire safety remit of the National Safety Council to my Department are being discussed with the Department of Transport. An exact date for the transfer has not been agreed but I expect that it will take place in the second quarter of this year.
