Food Safety
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-26
============================================================

Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

That is critical. I thank the Deputy for putting this on the agenda of the Dáil today. Auditing and regular day-to-day oversight and inspection are crucial to confidence in our food sector. Anywhere where something is identified that is not compliant, it is immediately followed up and taken very seriously. We have put significant staffing resources into this, as well as robust checks and balances, and that is something we will continue with. As I said, in any instance where standards are not as they should be, immediate action is taken by the Department. I thank the Deputy for raising the issue.
