Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion

Mr. Jim O'Toole:

I will try to answer the question regarding trade missions and live exports of calves. The live export trade for younger animals is almost exclusively to the Netherlands and we do not have trade missions around that in particular.

I am inclined to think the question around land-use change is more for Teagasc than it is for us. I might ask Mr. Murray if he has any great insights there but from the way he is looking at me he may not.
