Livestock chairman calls for profit to be put back into beef production

Putting profit back into beef production must be at the heart of any recommendations brought forward for the industry.

That’s the view of Irish Farmers’ Association Livestock Committee chairman Henry Burns, who has set out a number of priority issues.

He said these need to be addressed in the report of Beef Activation Group chairman Michael Dowling, which is scheduled to be presented to the Beef Forum round table by the end of the month.
