WelcomeI have great pleasure in welcoming you to the inaugural conference of the Urban Land Institute in Ireland.

Our cities and in particular Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway are the engine room of the Irish economy and home to over 50% of the country’s residents. The development and regeneration of our cities is critical to the future of the country and its citizens. They must provide for commerce and deliver sustainable thriving communities for current and future generations.

The title of our conference is “Urban Development – Shaping the future of Ireland’s Cities” and we have assembled a superb line up of international leaders in various aspects of urban development together with Ireland’s leaders and policy makers.

We have delegates from many parts of the public and private sectors and our aim is to start a conversation on how we can learn from best practise internationally and create the cities of our future. As a not for profit multidisciplinary organisation ULI is well placed to facilitate such an important conversation.

Larry Goodman, founder andexecutive chairman of ABPFood Group, has questionedthe validity of DNA tests on hisburgers by regulators and criti-cisedwhathecalled tabloidsen-sationalisationof the issue.“We are talking about DNA

testing and DNA will pick upmoleculesandsomething in theair,” he said.“I would not be surprised if

therewas not cross-contamina-tion of various species if one

were todoDNAtesting.”Whenasked about themedia

coverage,Mr Goodman said hewas“disgustedwith someof thethings that I see”.He denied that cost-cutting

by his company was to blamefor the contamination.MrGoodmansaidthecompa-

ny had never bought or tradedin horsemeat and he suspectedthe contamination came fromahamburger filler productsourced from a supplier on theContinent. “We have been letdown,” he said.He said there was intense

pressure from retailers on cost,but this didnotmeanABPFoodGroupused inferior products.The company said it had

“temporarily suspended” pro-duction at its Silvercrest plantinMonaghan,which is a suppli-er toTescoandBurgerKing, fol-lowing the disclosure by foodsafety authorities in Irelandthat a second batch of tests haduncovered further contamina-tion of burgers with horsemeat.In a statement thegroup said

there was “no evidence of anycontaminationof rawmaterialsused for themanufactureofanyBurgerKingproduct.”“All Burger King products

producedbyus are stored sepa-rately and manufactured on anindependent line”, it said.Nine out of 13 burgers from

made at the Silvercrest plantwas revealed to contain 29 percenthorsemeatwhen tested.In an interview with the Fi-

nancial Times Mr Goodmansaid there was no health prob-lem associated with traces ofhorse meat found in the burg-ers, but he said he understoodwhy there was genuine publicconcern.Meanwhile sources close to

the investigation of the originof horse DNA found in ham-

owns the Co Monaghan plant,said it had pinpointed the issueto one European supplier. Aseparate source said the ingre-dient is believed to be from theNetherlands.The British Food Standards

Agency’s investigation into theGoodman-controlled Dalepakplant in Yorkshire is focusingon whether it sharedmeat sup-pliers from the Continent withSilvercrest, it said last night.Samples from there are beingDNA-tested for signs of pig or
