My Department has recently concluded an agreement relating to current issues of dispute between ourselves and the named organisation for the provision of new arrangements for the delivery of meat inspection services.

The proposed agreement will be balloted upon by members of this organisation over the course of the next three weeks, to conclude no later than 1 February 2019.

The said organisation is to recommend acceptance of the agreement to their members. In the interim, meat inspections will continue in accordance with current operational arrangements.
