This is a question for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine regarding the issue of carcass trimming by beef factories. I raised it with him last week and he undertook to ensure that factories will offer recompense to farmers where this has happened. Will he give an assurance that those factories which are found to have over-trimmed carcasses, and therefore deducted unfairly from farmers in terms of their final payments, will be named and shamed and that they will be held to account by him for these unfair practices?
