Celebrity chef calls for Bord Bia to be scrapped

LEADING Irish chef Richard Corrigan has called for the abolition of Ireland’s food industry champion claiming Bord Bia’s stamp was being put on food coming in from abroad.

However, the food body dismissed Corrigan’s claim.

The celebrity chef had invited journalists to his recently opened Dublin city centre brasserie yesterday and warned that a radical overhaul of Bord Bia was needed. Otherwise the Irish food promotion board should close, he argued.
