IFA stands over results of beef origin survey

THE IFA said yesterday it stands over the results of its beef origin and labelling survey.

President John Dillon said he was disappointed with the response from the Irish Hotels Federation, which amounted to denial and bluster rather than a considered response to the IFA findings.

He said the Irish tourism industry is built on many facets, including the perception of Ireland abroad, and there was an interdependence between our hospitality and food sectors which the IFA fully supported.
