Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Electronic Identification of Sheep: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Cormac Healy:

We are making a contribution towards the cost. While the cost of tagging is borne at farm level, the industry is investing all the time in its processing, traceability and boning hall systems. If it is to act as central points of recording, CPRs, we will have to invest further. At the end of the day, the overall investment the industry has to make is in terms of the final price it gets back to the producer.
