Pending receipt of the report of an expert working party set up by FAO on official control of pesticides used in agriculture, I feel that it would be better not to come to final conclusions at this stage. It is hoped that the report will become available in the near future, and I will then pursue consultation with Comhairle na Nimheanna, as required under the Poisons Act, 1961, on the question of what action should be taken.
