As you will be aware, the inaugural meeting of the Beef Taskforce which was scheduled for Monday 14th October, had to be suspended due to the actions of a small minority of protestors who physically and aggressively prevented representatives from the meat industry from entering the building for the meeting. The independent chair of the Taskforce, Michael Dowling, is currently working with all stakeholders with a view to convening the Taskforce at the earliest possible juncture.
The terms of reference for the group, including the frequency of the meetings will be agreed by the taskforce when it convenes.
