PQ 143
186 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children her views on whether the food sold in country markets under the aegis of Country Markets Limited is healthy and wholesome and whether the labelling requirements such as those imposed on large commercial enterprises are not appropriate for the type of direct selling conducted by country markets; her further views on whether country markets have a track record of first-class produce with the highest standards of hygiene and quality control and that they also work within the guidelines published by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and welcome visits from environmental health officers; and her further views on whether in all these circumstances the labelling system operated by country markets gives sufficient information to customers to comply with Irish and EU law.
