Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
Michelle Mulherin (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I have two questions. I welcome the €100 million rescue package for beef farmers. It is very important to have this money available to make an intervention to support the beef sector. We have been discussing the value of it in the committee. There are many suggestions as to how it might be spent. How might it be best targeted? What are Dr. O'Mara's ideas in that regard for the best outcomes for the beef sector and particularly for the farmers, who are the primary producers, so they have some type of cushion and they are not put off entirely and pull out of suckler or beef farming?
I had another question which I cannot recall just now. I will return to it later.
