My Department continues to work with Bord Bia on the PGI application for "Irish Beef", in consultation with the European Commission.  A meeting to discuss the application was held with the European Commission in Brussels last month.

I anticipate that it should be possible to launch a formal national consultation in the near future, as required by the relevant EU regulations, before a formal application can be made to the European Commission for scrutiny of the proposal.
