Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Many people were surprised to learn that between June 2017 and February 2020 there was a decrease of more than 18%, or 200,000 cattle, in the suckler herd. Does the Minister intend to introduce further measures aimed at the destocking of suckler cows and the ending of suckler farms as recommended by the food vision beef and sheep group?
