I recently announced that I have approved funding for the recruitment by BIM of two quality assurance programme co-ordination officers to co-ordinate and support delivery by my Department, the Marine Institute, BIM and the shellfish industry of the national sampling and quality control programmes for bivalve molluscs. BIM has commenced the recruitment process and I am advised that the successful candidates will be appointed shortly.
