Is he saying definitively that is he satisfied that there is no manipulation or cartel operating in the beef industry?

What discussions has the Minister had with his British and Northern counterparts on the labelling issue? It is extraordinary how fond the British are getting of British beef, in that its price keeps increasing compared with beef's price in Ireland.

What advice would the Minister give farmers who cannot sell the cattle he just mentioned to the factories? What should they do now, having taken the original advice that they should raise that type of bull? Has the Minister held discussions with the roll on, roll off companies to try to ensure that they accept trucks carrying live animals across the Irish Sea?
