I thank the Minister for his very positive and constructive reply. Undoubtedly, good food, good hygiene and honest labelling are essential to consumer confidence and must be maintained. However, the complexity of the legislation and reporting which is required from very small businesses must be examined. I know of a person quite close to my home who was making home-made brown bread but the HSE closed the business down because the kitchen was too small. It was just a kitchen in a home but if it is home-made brown bread, where does the HSE think it is going to be made other than in a home?
