Checks on compliance with the Health (Country of Origin of Beef) Regulations are undertaken in conjunction with routine hygiene inspections; accordingly, it is not anticipated that additional costs will be incurred. These inspections are carried out by Environmental Health Officers in the Health Service Executive operating under a service contract with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland.
