Enterprise Ireland (EI) is tasked with strengthening Irish exporting companies throughout the country and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed in global markets.
Currently, there is overcapacity in the Irish Beef processing sector. Given this overcapacity, it is EI policy not to support new entrants to the sector at this time.
EI policy in the meat processing sector is focussed on strengthening and improving the competitiveness of the sector through Research & Development, Productivity and Training and Capability Supports. This will enable clients in this sector to compete effectively in the global marketplace.
EI continues to keep the matter under review.
