Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (Mr. Walsh): The food safety functions of my Department are of the highest priority. A reorganisation programme has been developed in my Department and this has established three distinct functional pillars, namely: agricultural payments office, policy and food safety.
