Diarmaid Ferriter writes an interesting piece on the current beef row in The Irish Times on Saturday.
He writes that the current controversy is a reminder of how the industry is enveloped by greed.
The Goodman APB Group had a turnover of €2.9 billion in 2018 while meat-processing operatives earn €22,000 annually.
Small-scale farmers are being offered €3.45 per kilogram for their cattle.
Ferriter argues that the Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed and his colleagues have directed their frustration at the wrong target by "suggesting it was the beef farmers who were holding the industry to ransom".
