There is, therefore, a big problem here. Universally, farmers I speak to consider the Grant Thornton reports to be fudges, at best, and potentially even whitewashes in the sense that farmers consider them to reinforce the proposition of Meat Industry Ireland, MII. In many cases, the reports acknowledge that they are heavily reliant on the industry for whatever information they contain.

Going back as far as 2019 to the beef sector agreement, what measures were taken to ensure that all farmers are aware of their entitlements under that agreement?
