I propose to take Questions Nos. 666 and 689 together.

The most recent meeting of the Beef Taskforce was 9th January 2020. Taskforce members were recently issued with a written update on the ongoing work of the Taskforce and these documents are available on my Department's website on www.agriculture.gov.ie/farmingsectors/beef/beeftaskforce.

Taskforce members have been advised that a meeting of the Beef Taskforce will be convened as soon as practical.
