Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges Facing the Pig Industry: Discussion.

Mr. Cormac Healy:

We have sat down with the IFA, the IGFA and millers in the context of this crisis because they are interdependent parts of the sector. The proposal that was put to the Government, and which we are still firmly behind, was a 50:50 split between State assistance and a repayable levy. The proposal is based on a producer levy and it is producers who would get the money from it. Neither millers nor processors would be involved in the contribution to that.
