With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 and 12 together.
Examination of the recommendations of the Food Advisory Committee regarding the presence of fluorine in food has not yet been completed in my Department.
The question of consultations with the trade interests referred to in the Deputy's second Question does not arise in relation to this Report of the Food Advisory Committee.
