Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion

Mr. John Murray:

No one in their right mind. That is the reason we have put eight weeks in. We believe that any farmer who has to retain an animal on their farm for eight weeks is not going to turn around and bring that animal to slaughter. It does not make any economic sense to do so. We believe an eight-week limit is sufficient. In saying that, the TAC will review that age limit and may look to bring a different date in.
