Milk Prices
9:40 am
Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
The Teagasc economic unit and the Irish Dairy Board have predicted that milk prices could decrease to as little as 27 cent a litre. This would be unsustainable for many farmers. I refer to many of the smaller producers, rather than the highly intensive producers. How does the Minister hope to deal with the smaller producers who could go to the wall in such circumstances?
