Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dairy Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Dr. Ailish Byrne:

No one knows where it is going in the medium term, so we keep it constantly under review. For example, we do 22 cent per litre for next year when it seems milk prices will be far lower than that. We provide additional support for people or see whether they need a capital repayment holiday or an interest-only option based on 22 cent per litre.
