-----which I am very disappointed to hear. This issue has not been treated with the urgency it deserves. Farm families across rural Ireland are on their knees. They are simply not getting a fair price for their product. We need, through the Minister, to shine a light on exactly what is happening in the meat industry. I was also disappointed to learn that retailers were not present at that meeting either.

Can the Leader pass on my frustration and anger to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and ask him to get the grip on this situation? This is going to get worse. Farmers are on their knees and they are not prepared to take any more. They need a fair price for their product and the time is long overdue that they got it.
