Recall of all pork in public health alert

Isn't it the case that another country alerted Ireland to the problem (Italy was it?) and all Irish pork products are to be destroyed? With that in mind, it was appear to me that the Irish systems did not prove to be useful. In fact, they would appear to be a complete waste of time and money.

What's the origin of this claim that the problem was discovered in Italy? I have seen nothing to support it.

See [broken link removed] . This says that the problem was unearthed by our own procedures, and that then authorities in other countries provided further information about finding dioxins in pork fat (which, I gather, they had not been able to trace back to the country where they originated).
 
There is no risk to public health with beef as its currently only 2 to 3 times levels of dioxin unlike the pork levels....PB direct from o` reilly` s mouth.

On Q & A last night you were misinformed by the government guy sitting far left 3 ministers in belgium resigned in 1999 were the animals were slaughtered and not the 2006 incident which he mingled in to the story.

PB my agenda is public health and total transparency something which lacks on our emerald island.

Trevor Sergant should keep quite, its not financially feasible to test these feed suppliers guess the 500 million plus thats going down the tube plus our reputation isn`t worth a few testing kits.

PS. I wouldn`t believe the Irish Government giving me the weather forecast. At least they have appointed Heffron guy from UCC onto the board.
 
UPDATE: LUNCHTIME NEWS TODAY

...looks like Irish pork could be about to get the all clear from the EU.
