Summary
Walsh asked what the Minister would do about adverse publicity linking red meat to Ireland’s loss of the Triple Crown. After some rugby banter, the Minister said he did not know the publicity’s basis but that, if true, it was bad for the beef industry.
Has the Minister's attention been drawn to recent adverse publicity regarding beef and red meat generally to the extent that we lost our Triple Crown because our players were consuming many of those products?
Comment on this
The Deputy would make a fine second row player and our team seems to be deficient in that area.
Comment on this
I do not know the basis for the publicity although I saw it. I do not know how genuine it was but, if it is true, it certainly was not a good advertisement for our beef industry.
