Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Roles, Responsibilities and Key Programmes of Bord Bia: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Michael Maloney:

On quality assurance, Deputy Cahill mentioned the premium and the add-ons. More than most, the Deputy, as a former member of the board of Bord Bia, he will understand our role and the fact we cannot get involved in the price discussion between meat factories and producers. That is an issue between the meat factories and the representatives of the farmers.
