A number of Irish food and drink products have been granted Protected Geographical Status under European Union law (applicable in the EU and Northern Ireland) and UK law (applicable in England, Wales and Scotland) through the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) or Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) regimes (although no TSG products from Ireland have been registered). The legislation is designed to protect regional foods and came into force in 1992.
