Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
North-South Implementation Bodies: safefood Ireland
2:15 pm
Dr. Gary Kearney:
We are food safety promotion, not regulatory. The Government and the regulators will look at that. I suppose it is all about whether there will be regulatory equivalence or regulatory alignment post Brexit and it will flow from that as to how things will pan out.
For us, there might be two different standards. In terms of our food safety promotion, we will have to tackle it in two different ways. That is just a fact of life for us. I suppose much of the effects, both positive and negative, on safefood will be post Brexit.
