It is two months since the beef protesters came off the picket lines, which they did it because the Minister requested that they do so and because of his commitment to set up a beef task force, which he has not done. To date, the hundreds of farmers who are outside the gates of Leinster House have seen no task force, no improvement in price, and no delivery from the Minister. They want a commitment here today as to when the task force is actually going to meet.
