Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Live Exports: Discussion

Ms Elizabeth Scallan:

Many dairy farmers were told to compact calving and that led to the present situation. There are many calves on the ground for three months, rather than being spread throughout the year. We need a contingency plan so we, as the farming community, can get these calves out of here.
