Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dale Crammond:

I do not really have much to add. About 6,000 or 7,000 tonnes of carcasses come into the country for further processing. I guess that helps to spread the overheads and throughput across the factory. Given the size of the sector as a whole, this is not very significant.
