What the Minister is presiding over is a disgrace. Brazilian beef, which cannot be traced, is being imported. People do not know what they are eating in restaurants and elsewhere because of the Minister's inaction. Nobody knows what are the problems associated with disease in Brazilian beef. Hormones, which can destroy animals, are freely available. Brazilian animals, which are imported for processing in Ireland, are full of hormones and they are destroying our agriculture industry. The motion might do nothing other than prompt the Minister to do something about this deplorable situation.
