IFA has met with Irish Country Meats (ICM) to discuss the importation of 23t of sheepmeat last Monday morning, which coincided with factories dropping the price of lamb.
It’s sheep committee chairman, Sean Dennehy, said the situation was “unacceptable” and highlighted how factory management was left in no doubt, after the meeting, that “undermining prices by importing products to fill orders will not be tolerated”.
