Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion

Mr. Jim Breslin:

We are working on the basis of adequacy. Currently, product from third countries is risk rated and we will be doing the same in this situation. Depending on the category of food involved, we will determine the risk attaching to it and will inspect on that basis. Much of the €10 million to which I referred has been invested in the environmental health service so that it has additional staffing. We will have inspections in place from day one. We will have to review that and build on it over the period ahead.
