Seanad debates

The Irish Salmon Growers Association has been asking the Minister and his Department for labelling in accordance with EU directives. The Minister of State may correct me if I am wrong but this has not happened yet. The consumer is entitled to transparency and to know from where the salmon has come. A knowledgeable person in Norway was asked recently if the marketplace opened up to Norwegian salmon how one could identify the salmon as such. He said it was labelled at first source but there was no guarantee that label would proceed all the way through. One can interpret that statement however one wishes.
