Retailers’ contribution to Beef Taskforce meeting only raised further questions, say farmers

Farmers say retailers’ contribution to today’s meeting of the Beef Taskforce only raised further questions around the 30-month age limit on cattle.

Tonight the ICSA president Edmond Phelan said the major retailers attending the Beef Taskforce “gave no coherent indication that the 30-month rule is as important a requirement in the Irish market as processors would have us believe”.
