Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

I have not yet seen country of origin labelling placed on food.

A chicken fillet on the Irish market at present is named after an island off the County Mayo coast and its package is green, white and orange. It is processed in Germany but I would lay any money that the product comes from outside the European Union. That is a deception of consumers here and throughout the European Union. Sadly, nothing has happened in the Minister's Department to address the matter. The abuse is continuing. I commend the motion to the House.
