ALDI PRICE CUTS ON BEEF AND LAMB PERPETUATING UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
ICSA Beef chair John Cleary has hit out at Aldi for claiming that their latest round of price cuts will not impact on the prices paid to any of its suppliers. “This is a ludicrous claim; Aldi’s assertion that their price cuts will not affect their suppliers is simply unacceptable and out of touch with the reality faced by Irish farmers. It is our assertion that cutting the prices of Irish beef and lamb directly undermines the efforts and livelihoods of Irish cattle and sheep farmers,” he said.
KEEP DOGS UNDER SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES TO PROTECT VULNERABLE LIVESTOCK
ICSA president Sean McNamara has today issued a plea to the public to remain vigilant and responsible for their dogs to prevent devastating attacks on sheep. “Just last week ICSA’s Wexford chair Des Greene lost a number of in-lamb ewes in a devastating attack by two dogs that had travelled more than two kilometres to wreak havoc. We are pleading with all dog owners to take measures to prevent their pets from roaming unsupervised near farmland. It is imperative that owners of dogs understand the gravity of their responsibility and take appropriate action to prevent attacks on livestock,” he said.
