Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I take it that the fire that happened this morning will be referred to the HSA. Under the law the HSA will conduct and I understand is conducting investigations into the previous incidents in which two workers were seriously injured, one of whom was very seriously injured.
It is an absolute prerequisite that there would be comprehensive health and safety investigations.
In respect of the question of union representation in meetings, I will talk to the Minister, Deputy Coveney, about that. There has never been an issue in respect of meeting with trade unions, which we do on a regular basis in discharging our duties as Government Ministers. I will talk to the Minister about that.
