Mr. Declan Fennell:

I agree with what the Deputy said but we have to give leadership or a signal about what markets hill farmers are looking for. If there are incremental increases in getting to a better carcass weight and a better finish, we will be in a better position to be a price negotiator and to get a better price rather than being a price taker. We will find customers for light lambs but, invariably, farmers will get a token price rather than an ideal price.
