There has been a serious problem with beef farmers not receiving a fair price for a long time. Although the prices have improved, it is not before time. There is an issue in terms of how business is done. We need this looked at. I posed a question to know why transfer pricing was not included in the Grant Thornton report and I asked the Minister to deal with that matter. I hope we will have more transparency and, indeed, that farmers, particularly beef farmers, will be rewarded for producing high-quality produce. They are not being treated fairly and there needs to be oversight and transparency in regard to this.
