Return of the full Irish as €180m deal agreed

THE traditional full Irish breakfast with rashers, sausages and black and white pudding is back to tickle the taste buds of consumers countrywide.

It followed an €180 million agreement brokered early yesterday between the Government and the pig meat processing industry, which was shut down following the dioxin scare.

Smaller businesses had products ready for the retail trade within hours of the European Food Safety Authority giving Irish pig meat a clean bill of health.
