Beef farmers and meat factories to work closely on price following talks
Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said yesterday’s talks in Dublin Castle were constructive, and would lead to closer future industry discussions on supply, demand, prices, product specifications, and retail changes. He hosted the talks following months of unrest in the beef sector.
“I believe that this was a very worthwhile exercise and the serious engagement by the stakeholders present reflected the importance of this vital sector to the Irish economy,” said Mr Coveney. “One of my priorities since taking office has been the continued development of the beef sector and I am personally committed to its development as is the Government.
