Vol. 395 No. 7

Written Answers. - Cheap Pigmeat.

Pat Rabbitte

Ceist:

49 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the investigations which have been held into allegations that cheap pigmeat on sale in the United States and falsely labelled as Danish, originated in meat plants in this country; in light of the possible damage that this could cause to the image of the Irish food industry, the steps which are being taken to ensure that this does not happen again; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is not carrying out the investigation referred to but is co-operating with the authorities who are conducting the investigation. I am concerned at any possible damage that may be caused to the Irish food industry and I intend to follow the situation very closely.
