Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion

Mr. Michael Doran:

We can do that. The main concerns were around the eligibility for SCEP and the associated terms and conditions. In addition, as the Senator identified, there were concerns around the implications if a person had bought a bull and the bull had dropped. We spoke to the Department of agriculture about that and I have spoken to a number of people in the Department around seeing whether there is anything we can do.
