I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Food Safety Authority of Ireland Act 1998 and expand the functions of the Authority in order to achieve the highest standard of food health and safety for consumers through enhancing the traceability and monitoring of food produce origins; enforce stricter labelling criteria for products labelled as produce of Ireland as well as products marketed and distributed within the State.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
