New dawn for Irish beef in Canada and Oman

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has welcomed the opening of the market for Irish beef in Canada and Oman.

He said Irish sheepmeat will now have full access to the Oman market, building on the existing access it has for Canada.

He said: “I am delighted to see the re-opening of this potentially valuable market in Canada. This is a market with strong Irish links, which appreciates premium quality foods and should be a natural fit for Irish beef. It builds on the progress in accessing the US market earlier this year.”
