Coveney to convene horsemeat discussion

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney will head up a meeting of European agriculture ministers today where information will be shared among member states on the mislabelling of meat products.

The meeting comes after Polish authorities arrived in Ireland to meet Department of Agriculture officials about the Irish inquiry into the presence of horsemeat in beef products.

Several Polish vets will examine the tests and paper trail established by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland amid claims that Poland was the source of the contamination.
