Written Answers. - Meat Inspections.

John Connor

Ceist:

38 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for Health the reason he has failed to issue the circular letter to all the health boards clarifying the respective functions and duties of environmental health officers and veterinary officers in relation to meat inspections consequent to the Abbatoirs Act, 1987; and if and when he will issue this circular.

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon)

Discussions are currently being finalised between my Department and the Department of Agriculture and Food in relation to this matter and I would expect that the circular would issue in the near future.
