Beef Plan Movement spokesperson Eamon Corley thanked the societies for their participation and said: “I came here to listen to the concerns of the breed societies and their members, and they have engaged positively and constructively in the process.”
He added that the participants had agreed to meet again early in the new year to progress matters of mutual concern.
