Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Beef Task Force: Discussion
Ms Sinéad McPhillips:
I might take that one. The Department has run that consultation regarding the additional powers to be attached to the new office of a national food ombudsman or regulator. The Senator will appreciate that as Department staff, we have not made a submission ourselves, and Mr. Dowling is acting as independent chairman of the beef task force. Several other organisations in the task force process have made submissions to the public consultation and they are being analysed. We had a useful webinar to present some of the preliminary results of that consultation, for the information of the public and interested people.
