The issue to which the Deputy refers is a day-to-day operational matter for the Management of the semi-state companies and for contractors and subcontracts who are direct employers. I have no immediate function in this matter.

My Department has, however, requested the commercial state bodies under its aegis to confirm that they have procedures in place to ensure all contractors and sub contractors employed by them are compliant with labour law and are abiding by terms as may be covered by relevant industry agreements. I am also ensuring the non-commercial state bodies under the aegis of my Department are requested to confirm their compliance.
