As I indicated to the Joint Oireachtas on Agriculture I am establishing a review group with representatives from my Department, the Department of Health and Children and other state agencies concerned, to examine all aspects of the dioxin incident and to make recommendations as to the future policy in this area. Dr. P. Wall, associate professor of Public Health at UCD, has agreed to chair the group.
