Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
We all know that. I have only 30 seconds remaining and my question has still not been answered. Farmers are questioning the validity of the index. That is what I am questioning. The ICBF is holding a stakeholder forum in the early spring. Why not suspend for eight or nine weeks, or whatever that interval is, until the stakeholder forum has been held? Why would the Salers Society or the Irish Limousin Cattle Society even come to that stakeholder forum if the ICBF is already saying that nothing will change? Why discuss anything further?
