How dare the Minister of State make such an accusation? I ask the Acting Chairman to ask the Minister of State to withdraw the scurrilous accusation he has levelled at me. I have indicated very clearly and acted at all times to ensure the Department would act at all times to assure the provenance of all of the components of the beef industry. In this instance, it has failed to do so. The review to which the Minister referred did not address the issues at the core of the problem but sought only to excuse its own behaviour.
