I can advise the Deputy that five district inspectors and one internal control person are involved in carrying out inspections on behalf of my Department in the context of the service referred to by the Deputy. In addition, two regional inspectors carry out supervisory inspections and, if required, can also undertake routine inspections.

No staff in the other area to which the Deputy refers in his Question are involved in undertaking inspections, as my Department has no such statutory functions in relation to that particular sector.
