I joined the Department as Minister of State last June. The Minister and the staff at the highest level are totally committed to taking every possible diplomatic and official initiative to ensure we can market beef and dairy products out of the country. The market for cheap meat is buoyant. We have had the highest level of representation across the world. There has been tremendous support from the worldwide diplomatic staff and the Minister has led and met delegations pertaining to all of these issues, including the holding of a five hour meeting on 11 September with the IFA.
