Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion

Mr. Sean Coughlan:

What I would argue is that, as Dr. Crossan alluded to, in some ways the more efficient carbon animals are also the better and more profitable animals. We need to make sure that we do not lose that benefit. I agree completely with Deputy Cowen that a top-up needs to be funded from somewhere else to compensate for the reduction in output and income due to carbon.
