Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion
Mr. Sean Coughlan:
I will let Mr. Doran come in after me. It is important for members of the committee to understand that the objective of the ICBF is national genetic gain. When the members of the board come around that table, that is the only objective they can take into account. Their fiduciary duty requires them to ensure that is the case. If there is a conflict of interest for somebody, they need to remove themselves from that decision-making process.
