Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Beef Task Force: Discussion
Mr. Michael Dowling:
The Deputy is correct that there was not contact with consumers as such, but he should understand the reason for that, which is that Irish beef is bought by customers and those customers are generally retailers, food service operators or manufacturers. They are the people who buy the beef and specify what they want. Obviously, it was to them that Grant Thornton had to go because they are the people who are doing the buying.
