The Government has been working to ensure that Irish pork products are available for sale again as soon as possible in Ireland's major markets, including in the European Union. My Department, through its network of Embassies, is working closely with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and Bord Bia to keep the relevant authorities in our major markets fully informed of developments and so provide reassurance, when required, with regard to Irish pork products.
