ICSA president Edmond Phelan has said the Beef Markets Taskforce cannot begin its work while injunctions hang over individual farmers. “ICSA decided at an early stage this morning that we could not attend the taskforce while injunctions remain in place.”

“ICSA does not condone physical clashes but the blame for the failure of today’s talks stands squarely with those meat processors who have so far refused to issue letters of discontinuance in respect of certain individual farmers.”

“There is no way these talks will commence until all legal threats have been removed.”

ICSA Suckler chair Jimmy Cosgrave has hit out at the Department of Agriculture’s decision to offer only online training to participants of the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP). “This move is very concerning, especially considering the older age demographic of suckler farmers. Many of these farmers may not have reliable internet access or have the necessary computer skills to navigate complex online platforms. The focus should be on ensuring as many farmers as possible can benefit from the scheme rather than putting barriers in place,” he said.
