I welcome the amendment but question how enforceable the labelling provision will be. It is a massive problem because we have no idea where food is produced. Food is being brought into the country and relabelled as Irish produce when it is not, and it presents a major challenge for everybody involved in the food industry. I was surprised to learn lately that even sugar from the Carlow factory, down the road from the Minister of State's constituency, was once labelled as produced in Carlow but has now been relabelled as produced in Europe, which means a choice of 25 countries for anybody wishing to move the factory out of Carlow. It is a grey area that we will not solve today. Consumers are not being told the truth about the origin of products.
