- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Beef Sector (7 Dec 2023)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister of State to the House to discuss this important issue. She will be aware the agency responsible for the grading of cattle for the various beef schemes has carried out a reclassification in recent weeks. As a result, cows, heifers and bulls that would have been given five-star ratings based on the index have been downgraded. To show the consequences, let me give the...

I had the pleasure of getting to know him when I was first elected to the House in 2002. On behalf of a bunch of us then newcomers, I thank him for the way in which he assisted us in feeling at home. It was quite a daunting encounter for the many of us who were elected...
