Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Brian McHugh:
We have engaged with meat processors. We are aware of their views on the market and how the market works. In order to make our decision, we have to be sure that we have a basis for doing an investigation. We have very strong powers, which we have argued for, but we cannot just start an investigation without some basis for there to be a positive outcome.
