Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Review of Food Harvest 2020 Strategy: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Dairy Board and Bord Bia
3:05 pm
Mr. Bernard Condon:
Our primary objective is to use Irish products where there is a possibility of including Irish ingredients. A portfolio list is required, particularly for retailers in the United Kingdom, for example, who wish to buy British products, so we have to have a full portfolio which includes non-Irish products. That is the reason we are involved with non-Irish products as well.
