Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Beef Task Force: Discussion
Mr. Michael Dowling:
It is unusual if that is the case. The information from the market was that all of the specs were required by some markets but not by them all. The specification of cattle being under 30 months of age is required in virtually all markets. In some markets but not all, there are requirements relating to movements and length of time spent on the last farm. There is a fairly general requirement that the beef should come from quality assured farms. As I understand it, that remains the position.
