Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the debate we will have tomorrow on the food industry, in particular the pigmeat industry. In recognition of the long-term difficulties that the actions taken over the weekend may have on the industry, will the Leader ensure that in tomorrow's debate we will receive clarity on the checks and balances in the food chain and on the methodology for the recall of products and what triggers such a recall. I am concerned about the implications of the recall on getting the product back on the shelves in our export markets. That will be a momentous and difficult task. I hope that tomorrow we will be advised of the special measures that will be put in place to ensure we are successful in our endeavours in that regard.

I offer my condolences to the O'Kane family in East Wall on the appalling tragedy that occurred the other day. I support the call for a debate on gun crime.
