John Browne
Ceist:72 Mr. Browne (Wexford) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the total import figures for pigmeat into Ireland; the reason for such imports; his views on whether this is leading to a cap on demands for Irish pigmeat which in turn is ensuring that Irish pig producers are getting an unrealistically low price, as much as 20 per cent less than the EU average; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
