I spoke at the beef quality awards last Monday week in front of the IMA and the farming organisations and I appealed to the Irish Meat Association and to the farming organisations to sit down together to look at the issue of capacity and the primary producers entitlement to the best price possible and to take into account the huge effort being made by the Department of Agriculture and Food along with the State agencies including Bord Bia. We will be at the SIAL food fair next week marketing Irish food produce to the people of France and Europe. I ask them to sit down and see how they can find a resolution to the current impasse so that the primary producer can get ample reward for producing quality beef in one of the most natural environments in the world. I hope that common sense will prevail sooner rather than later, that the markets will be allowed to proceed and that the producers get the proper price.
