Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

No, it should not have been in the food chain. All I am saying is we have a residue monitoring plan that checks for these things and that is as good as there is anywhere in Europe. It is the same for every meat product. It should not have been in the food chain. Separately, and I cannot say very much about this, there is a Garda investigation into allegations involving potentially misidentifying horses and trying to get them into the food chain in circumstances where they should not be in it. That is a collaborative exercise between ourselves, customs and the Garda and it is an ongoing investigation.
