Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent)

Baineann mo cheist le rialacha nua atá ag teacht ón Aontas Eorpach agus ag cur freagracht ar tháirgeoirí bia tuilleadh eolais a chur ar fáil. Is maith an rud é go mbeidh dualgas orthu tuilleadh eolais a chur ar fáil maidir lena gcuid earraí. An fhadhb ná go mbeidh sé sin uilig i mBéarla agus ní bheidh dualgas ar bith orthu an t-eolas sin a chur ar fáil i nGaeilge. Rules are being drafted as we speak. I understand there will be a cross-departmental working committee set up in relation to those rules that will place an obligation on producers to say what is in their products. However, that will be in English as a result of a decision made by the Government. Will the Government, through the new cross-departmental working group, look at this again to ensure go mbeidh sé dátheangach, that it will be bilingual?
