Ms Edel Clancy:

Deputy McNamara raised the point about bacon and ham. When we say, "100% Irish", we mean that. "Born and reared in Ireland", is what we would say. That covers all pork products as well.

On the Deputy's follow-up question on labelling, when we have that genuine commitment to ensuring what we sell is what it says on the label, it is not good for us either if there are others out there who are, to use the example the Deputy quoted, putting a label on it that is Irish. We would be in favour of tightening up that regime in order that the labelling would be what it says.
