Freagraí scríofa

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2201 and 2203 together.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has overall responsibility for the enforcement of food law in Ireland; therefore, as these are operational matters, I have asked the FSAI to reply directly to the Deputy.
