I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the family on their tragic loss.

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is an independent, statutory body under the aegis of my Department. The WRC is responsible for inspection of employment law compliance, the provision of information on employment law, mediation, adjudication, conciliation, and advisory services.

As the Coast Guard is under the remit of the Department of Transport, the implementation of the recommendations arising from the Coroner’s Inquest is a matter for that Department together with the Coast Guard Service, in the first instance.
