  Deputy Brian Cowen: There are serviced canteen facilities in three of the buildings occupied by my Department. These buildings are Government Buildings, Dublin, 2, Lansdowne House, Dublin, 4 and the Department's decentralised office in the Central Business Park Tullamore County Offaly. All three facilities are operated by com[1265] mercial caterers. It is a matter for the companies providing the service to make their own commercial decisions as to where to source their supplies. However, I am informed by the caterers that the majority of meat used by them is sourced in Ireland.
