Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Future of Tillage Sector: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Bobby Miller:

It is valueless now. One could not sell a malt and barley contract because it is valueless now and, unfortunately, it has been led down that road by policy making and lobby groups. It would be an unfortunate state of affairs if the pint of Guinness or Smithwick's or Irish whiskey was made from imported raw material, but that is the reality facing us.
