Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael)

It is not the purpose of the report to make a recommendation, but to outline the facts clearly. There is a list as long as my arm of the shortcomings of the Brazilian authorities. The Minister can run but she cannot hide on this matter. Is she with us or against us in leading a campaign for a ban? While she may clamour to get onside with the IFA, she stated this was a trade issue, not a public health issue. The FVO finds that it is a public health issue.
