Dr. White report on mining under Blackwater

Summary

O’Leary again asked whether Fitzgerald knew of and accepted Dr. White’s recommendations. The Ceann Comhairle called it a separate question, and Fitzgerald did not answer the substance, instead noting that some accidents occurred while O’Leary was Minister.

Does the Minister accept the recommendation of the safety expert, Dr. White?

That is a separate question.

Is the Minister aware of that report? It calls for certain measures to be undertaken.

Let me say this is all very surprising considering that quite a number of the accidents took place when the Deputy was Minister.
