Written answers

My Department is currently looking at the availability of Fairtrade products and the feasibility of their use in its offices. The potential use of those products would probably be confined to our staff restaurants, and the issue has been raised with the catering managers in our Dublin, Athlone and Tullamore offices.

I will be also open to the potential use of other Fairtrade products that may become available, subject to the normal criteria of suitability and value for money.
