Question 159: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment further to Parliamentary Question No. 116 of 25 February 2009 the reason a plant (details supplied) was inspected at such frequency; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12110/09]

I have made inquiries and understand that, in addition to routine inspections initiated by the inspector, the plant operator requested further visits for verification purposes. Verification visits are necessary when seals on instruments are broken for adjustment or repair or where scales in use are exchanged from non-trade to trade use. In some cases two-day visits are required because of the number of instruments involved.
