My officials and I meet the various stakeholders from across the entire beef sector, including the processing sector, on a regular basis. These meetings are a constructive way to facilitate detailed discussions around issues facing the sector.

I can confirm that matters raised by the Deputy have been discussed recently at such meetings.
