Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Bull Beef Sector: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. John Enright:

Today’s presentations focused on the difficulties people have in getting cattle killed at the meat plants. If we cannot keep Northern Ireland buyers in our marts, the problems with finishing cattle will feed down further into the system and get worse. It needs to be dealt with quickly.
