I apologise. The farmer in question declined to take part in certain VAT avoidance arrangements and, as I put it, was forced out of business because he was no longer in a position to deal with local processors. The man in question is a respected farmer in County Cavan. He is a former chairperson of the Irish Farmers Association poultry committee and an FBD Nuffield scholar who completed a study, Thinking Different - Encouraging the Transfer of Knowledge in the Poultry Sector. He is also a member of the Irish Poultry Council and a chair and founder of Taste of Cavan food festival.
