Food Labelling.
4:00 pm
Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)
Just to clarify for the information of the House, it is a 2004 report and no report has been completed since. In that report, which is the most recent since 2004, 42% of premises visited did not meet the existing labelling legislative requirements. In light of the fact that the Food Safety Authority of Ireland made that information available to the official agency with responsibility for supervising the various premises, some of which comes under the control of the Department of Agriculture and Food, what action has been taken to date? Is the Minister of State concerned about the contents of that report and, if so, what will be done to ensure this abuse is eradicated once and for all?
