As the Minister is aware, there is great concern in the beef industry about the widening gap between the price paid to Irish farmers, as against British farmers, in the British market. The beef forum confirmed that the gap had widened to 82 cent per kilogram or €293 a head last year. I understand at the moment it is €1 per kilogram. What steps is the Minister going to take to deal with this issue? We have been pursuing the Minister on it for a long time but we have not had any action.
