Parties in beef dispute to resume talks

Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has convened the meeting, which it is hoped will help address the concern of farmers over the price they are paid for cattle. The group says it is essential that retailers are present at the beef talks.

Price was not discussed at the previous talks, but the Irish Farmers' Association has said it will be on the agenda today.Farmers insist that what factories pay them is below the cost of production, but the meat industry says what they are paid reflects a depressed demand for beef in EU and UK markets.

Farmers want more money in their pockets and as they prepare for the latest round of talks, they are looking to the Government and industry to make that happen.
