Ms Tara McCarthy:

In 2018, we went on a trade mission to Turkey for live exports. Also in 2020, we would have gone to Algeria and Egypt for live exports. We also went to Holland in 2019. On each of those occasions we were with the Department and accompanied by live exporters. There is a live exporters association. There seemed to have been some confusion in the previous session as to the existence of an association for live exporters. That was established over the past year. We have always brought that association with us on trade missions, as well as other exporters, but where we were limited in terms of numbers we would have brought and gone through the association.
