Michael Creed: Farming sector best served by a coherent, cohesive approach - not blockades

The Minister acknowledged the difficulties in 2019 for the beef sector.

Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has described some of the beef industry lobbying groups as ‘flying columns.’

“Holding one or two meetings at a central location nationally, does not a national organisation constitute. We have established farm bodies, we have relatively new established farm bodies, as well, but we also have these 'flying columns' so to speak ,” he told Newstalk’s Pat Kenny Show.
