Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I saw on the website yesterday where seven closure orders were applied against food outlets of one kind or another. I put it to the Minister of State that while it is not his direct responsibility to engage the enforcement people, it is still a significant matter from the point of view of the food, which we either eat or export. What communications would he send to the FSAI and perhaps, more directly, to the Department of Health and Children on the need to increase the number of inspectors?
