  388. Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he has received correspondence from a person (details supplied) regarding breaches of legally binding agreements and labour legislation in the matter of employees of a company at a building site at Clane, County Kildare; the action he has taken or proposes to take in this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

  Mr. Killeen: I have received correspondence from the person concerned regarding alleged breaches of labour legislation by the company concerned.

The wages and employment conditions of workers employed in the construction industry are governed by the Registered Employment Agreement (Construction Industry Wages and Conditions of Employment) Variation Order, which is enforced by the labour inspectorate of my Department. In this regard, I have asked the inspectorate to investigate these allegations in due course.
