Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

North-South Implementation Bodies: safefood Ireland

2:15 pm

Mr. Ray Dolan:

Our headquarters are in Cork and two thirds of the staff are there, working in corporate services and operations, food science, human health and nutrition. In Dublin, ten people work in marketing, communication and PR. On the point about partnerships, it is difficult to get staff to go to a meeting in Belfast, Armagh or Newry and then back to Cork. When building relationships with new people it is difficult to get them to go to Cork and that is why we have the Dublin office. The flight from Belfast to Cork ceased after a crash some years ago, which has been a big disadvantage to us as we used it quite a lot to go and come back on the same day.
