Ceist:

124 Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Taoiseach the number of Government-run canteens operating in Government buildings in his Department and agencies; the number of commercially-run cafes or restaurants that are operating in Government buildings in his Department and agencies; if there is a policy in his Department and agencies to source food locally; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Taoiseach

Neither my Department nor the agencies under its aegis, have Government or commercially run canteens, cafes or restaurants on their premises. Consequently, the issue of serving food locally sourced does not arise.
