Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

They did not have to do with angel dust, but they did have to do with the illegal use of growth promoters which is what angel dust was, and the illegal use of antibiotics which is a very important issue. A list of strategic risks facing the country was released recently by the Government. I believe there are approximately 20. One of them is a food safety breakdown. One, identified on its own as a major risk facing the country, is antimicrobial resistance, which is about antibiotics and their overuse in human health and also the illegal use of antibiotics in foodstuffs. This is a major global concern because it creates antimicrobial resistance in human beings. Angel dust was a growth promoter. Other growth promoters were involved in the cases mentioned and so were antibiotics, giving rise to the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
