Meat sector says Ireland is top performer on climate change
MII director Cormac Healy said it would be foolhardy to demand that Ireland should reduce its beef output. He said Ireland operates one of the most eco-friendly beef industries in the world.
“It would be foolhardy in the extreme to curb the production of beef in a country where we produce in an extensive grass-based system that is far more efficient and sustainable than elsewhere in the world,” said Mr Healy.
