Mr. Cormac Healy:

That would only be achievable if every individual carcase was deboned separately. It is not achievable in a plant that deals with perhaps 3,000 lambs a day. The system operates on a batch basis, as it does throughout the world. The batches could be a batch of Texel or a batch of Suffolk, as is the case on the beef side where one has Angus and Hereford. That is doable. It is not that the sector has an issue with individual traceability, it is that the market has not yet developed specifically in terms of a breed-based approach on sheep marketing.
