The new 18-month scheme, due to start in October, will be a pilot project run in partnership by the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland (ACBI) with the North’s Master Butchers Association.

A grant of E290,700 has been made as part of the overall budget of E387,500 for the project, which will encompass the North and the six border counties.
