  • The Food Safety Promotion Board is one of six implementation bodies set up under the Good Friday Agreement in December 1999. The body is headquartered in Cork with a sub-office in Dublin, but conducts its work on an all-island basis. The body reports to the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) and operates under the trade name of safefood. To create an environment where consumers can have confidence in the food they eat. Our approach will be to draw on the best scientific support available, to provide advice and guidance to the food industry and to consumers. Consumers deserve protection and they also deserve to be given factual based information so that they can form knowledgeable opinions. As a statutory agency with independent scientific resources at our disposal, we provide objective information and advice to the consumer, the food sector and other interested parties.

    • The Food Safety Authority of Ireland’s (FSAI) Food Safety Consultative Council was established under the FSAI Act, 1998. The present Council, the first to be appointed in 2001, held its inaugural meeting in April of that year. It is a great pleasure to present our first annual report. This report describes the activities that the Council undertook in 2001. The Council represents a cross section of Irish society and includes consumers and food industry exemplars. Each of the 22 members has been appointed by either the Minister for Health and Children or the FSAI Board. Each member acts individually and on a voluntary, unpaid basis. The Council is committed to advancing food safety. The Council met four times in its first year, with various working groups meeting on other ad hoc occasions. Through this process, the members have established a rapport and have gained an understanding of the diverse walks of life from which they come. The objectives of the Food Safety Consultative Council are to: • Advise the FSAI Board on specific issues • Enable the FSAI to discharge its function to consult widely for the purposes of promoting higher food safety standards • Progress the food safety agenda. Safe food of high quality is required for the protection of consumers' interests, for the success of all sectors of the Irish food industry and is the foundation stone for a vibrant tourist industry. All the stakeholders from farm to fork have a shared responsibility for producing safe food. It is important that the national inspectorate and all sectors of the food industry work together efficiently to ensure that high standards prevail in Ireland. We intend to hold open meetings, in order that the mechanics of the Council can be observed by the public. I would like to thank my fellow Council members for their time, effort and valuable contributions to the Council. Finally, I would also like to thank Dr Daniel O’Hare, Chairman of the FSAI Board, the FSAI Board,Dr Patrick Wall, Chief Executive and the staff of the FSAI for their support of the work of the Council. The food industry and all consumers benefit from their selfless commitment to food safety.

    • In its second year in office, the Food Safety Consultative Council (the Council) is pleased to be able to report that it continues to make steady progress in meeting its principal aims. The main role of the Council is to advise the Board of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), and to provide it with the considered opinion of a diverse range of expertise. The Council believes that, through its open consultative process, it can raise issues of wider concern, which act as a challenge for the FSAI in meeting its primary role of protecting consumers’ health and interests. A guidance given to the Council by the Board of the FSAI is to ensure that its business is conducted in an open and transparent manner. This year, it took a further step in meeting this charge by holding one of its meetings in a forum to which the public and media were invited. The level of interest and response shown was very positive, and therefore, some of the Council’s meetings will continue to be held in the public domain. The main priority of the Council is still to draw attention to issues which, in its opinion, impact on food safety. In 2002, the Council identified a number of areas of concern, which ranged from specific food safety issues to gathering baseline data of the attitudes of industry and consumers to food safety. As each issue was raised by the Council, the FSAI responded. The Council has identified its priorities, both specific and general. These will be the basis of its 2003 work plan, as outlined later in this report. I wish to record the Council’s thanks and appreciation of the work of Eoin McGettigan. Eoin was the first chair of the Council, but due to work commitments, he had to relinquish his post. Eoin ably led the Council through its formative period, helped crystallise its objectives and roles, and developed a friendly and efficient working atmosphere. The Council wish him every success in his new post. Finally, I wish to thank Dr. Patrick Wall, Chief Executive of the FSAI for his enthusiastic support of the work of the Council. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff in the FSAI who formed the Council Secretariat throughout the year, Eileen Lippert, Pat O’Mahony and Ray Dolan. I would also like to wish Dr. Patrick Wall, Pat O’Mahony and Ray Dolan every success in their new ventures.
