Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
2062. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason that an organisation (details supplied) has been left out of the new beef forum; if he has requested a paid-up membership list from the organisation notwithstanding the fact that the organisation is a volunteer group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39752/22]
View answerThe Food Vision Beef and Sheep Group has been established to advance the actions for the beef and sheep sector identified in the Food Vision 2030 strategy, taking account of the requirement for the sectors to contribute to achieving the targets set for the agriculture and land use sector in the Climate Action Plan 2021.
I am satisfied that the existing composition of the group is appropriately representative of the sector. I have made my position in this regard clear to the organisation referred to by the Deputy.
