Irish cattle live exports up 11% so far this year

Cattle live exports have increased 11% so far this year, and will be helped by the Department of Agriculture temporarily delaying the introduction of a new rule requiring animals to depart from Ireland within 14 days of leaving their herd and farm.
It's one of a few new live export rules, but the DAFM has delayed its introduction, due to recent challenges to live exports due to the unavailability of ferry and lairage capacity, which were outside the control of the exporters.
