I propose to take Questions Nos. 1044 and 1045 together.
The Beef Taskforce, which meets at least quarterly as per the terms of reference of the group, is scheduled to meet again next week.
In addition to updates on the ongoing work of the Taskforce, there is a standing agenda item for all Task Force meetings on the market situation which provides a platform for stakeholders to discuss the current issues in the market.
