Food Industry.
3:00 pm
Andrew Doyle (Wicklow, Fine Gael)
A logical way to deal with this is to ring-fence a certain amount of grant aid for small abattoirs without export certificate requirements. The validity of grant-aiding large processing plants already making money and which are moving towards creating a cartel is questionable. We discussed climate change earlier and this raises the matter of food miles. This is part of a bigger picture.
