I fully respect what Mr. Carroll is saying but I would like independent evidence regarding the prices. Factories are dictating the price of lamb. Some people feel there should be a full investigation into the whole processing business under Meat Industry Ireland. That is what the farmers on the ground are telling me.
What is the monetary value of sheep offal? Where does it end up in the processing chain, be it used at home or exported?
