It’s one of a number of measures, along with a new bonus payment for quality assured cattle, which was set out in a deal brokered by Agriculture Minister Michael Creed. The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association claimed there were some outstanding legal cases which had not yet been withdrawn, and would threaten the work of the task force in the coming weeks.

“ICSA does not want to see the work of the task force undermined by this and we would urge the minister to seek clarity from the meat processors on the issue.”
