Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Martin is wrong when he says 75% of the burgers were equine DNA; it was 75% of the ingredient as a raw material which was Polish labelled which was 75% equine DNA. This is different to the way Deputy Martin presented it and he should get it right. It is also important to note that in the case of Silvercrest there is a clear paper trail involved which suggests the product was purchased directly from Poland, but in the case of Rangeland Foods a Polish-labelled raw material ingredient was sourced through a meat trader in Ireland. This needs to be authenticated and verified.
