This is a very important office. The State Laboratory is under the aegis of my Department. It is our principal analytical chemistry laboratory and provides a comprehensive analytical and advisory service to the Government, Departments and offices. Its main clients include the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Revenue, the Coroner Service and the Office of the State Pathologist. The laboratory also provides services to the Departments of Transport; Enterprise, Trade and Employment; Health; and State agencies including Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, the HSE and the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. It provides really important services right across the Government and the public service.
