Two weeks ago, there was a report of horsemeat being found in the food chain in a foreign country that according to traceability should not have been there. Is Mr. Gleeson able to comment on what happened and why it happened? We had experience of this a couple of years ago. We are worried about the meat trade and its reputation. Why has this been allowed to happen again? How did it happen? Did someone take the foot off the pedal with regard to inspections? How did we get this headline that none of us wants?
