105 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the plans he has to rename his Department to highlight the new importance of food safety in the work of his Department. [2745/01]
Written Answers. - Food Safety.
The food safety functions of my Department are of the highest priority. A reorganisation programme has been developed in my Department and this has established three distinct functional pillars, namely: agricultural payments office, policy and food safety.
I am satisfied that the existing title of the Department adequately reflects the high importance of food safety.
