Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion
Mr. Kevin Comiskey:
I will add to that. It will also be affected by the carryover of hoggets. Farmers were not able to buy the nuts, as I pointed out in March 2022. I am talking about hill lambs, which will affect the price of lamb, given the changeover will not take place because we got no supports on that.
As Mr. Bourke has rightly pointed out, we need them immediately.
