Adjournment Matters. - Beef Industry.
I live on a farm and work with the farmers in my area. They are deeply concerned. Unless prices increase they will not be there in the future. Processors will be affected because, without the raw material, there will not be a processing industry. That is the reason I appeal to the industry and the IFA to try to negotiate a viable price for a quality product. As my party's former spokesperson on agriculture in this House, Sir, you know we have the best beef in this country. We need to see a fair price being given to producers.
