asked the Minister for Labour the cost to date in his Department of the monitoring unit set up to provide early warning of industrial disputes; and the number of reports prepared by this unit.
Comment on this
It is not possible to separate the costs of the monitoring unit from the overall cost of administration of the Department of Labour. If the Deputy requires the wage costs involved I can let him have the grades of the people employed there who receive the same salary as persons of an analogous grade in the civil service generally.
The number of written reports prepared by the unit to date is 453.
