134 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce initiatives aimed at encouraging bull beef production; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3753/10]
View answerMy Department has no plans to introduce specific initiatives to encourage bull beef production over other systems of beef production.
It is a matter for the processing industry, in responding to market demands for bull beef, or any other specialised form of beef production, to provide a sufficient level of price incentive to such producers.
