My colleagues in the Department of Social Protection and the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and I agreed to a request on behalf of former coal miners that our officials would meet with them on the 5th May 2010 to listen to their concerns. Following on from that meeting my officials will report back to me and I will consider the issues raised.
