It is presumed that the Deputy is referring to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The position is that there is not evidence to suggest that the nuclear accident caused damage to the Irish food industry. In the circumstances, while I will continue to keep the situation under review, I do not intend at this stage to raise this issue at the Council of Ministers.
