To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide a full update on the investigation into the contamination of the food chain by horse meat products; the steps he has taken to address the alleged illegal trade in and slaughtering of horses here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my Dáil statement of 14th March and the report which I released on the same day on the ‘Equine DNA and Mislabelling of Processed Beef Investigation’. That report provides a full update on the investigation into this matter and outlines the conclusions and recommendations which can now be drawn.
