Coveney holds meeting with meat factory chiefs over beef prices
Mr Coveney said: “I had a constructive and focused meeting with the meat industry and I am hopeful that the farming organisations and the meat processing sector will work together to overcome the various issues that have caused concern in recent weeks.”
Meat factory executives were not available for comment yesterday. The IFA met with Ibec’s meat processor group, Meat Industry Ireland last month, but hasve since heldosted protests outside meat factories calling for a higher beef price.
