Bord Bia Problem

The country can't allow the tillage group to dictate the ifa and wider now Bord bia.

They'll get their own in charge of bord bia and that will be all straw imports stopped in the country be it UK or EU. Same will be done for feedstuffs, non eu first and then eu imports next. And all with their own man or woman in charge of bord bia.

I see

I see woulfe still drawing away anyway.he might be back at dairygold soon the way there going.

The arrival of bluetongue was the hope late last week for the minister that this would disappear out of the current news. Heydon, Martin and Harris have dug a serious hole for themselves to get out of since they have backed Murrin. Heydon bought time with the initial statement of satisfactory on his performance.

The farm orgs just need to keep playing the line of his position goes completely against the ethos of Bord Bia. This further puts heat on other members. As siamsa said a call or email to your local TDs will be worthwhile to pound the heat on from back benchers

AFAIK Pat McDonagh uses all Irish beef and poultry in Supermacs. Providing that is extended to all his hotels, wouldn't he be a good fit on such a Board.

The Chairman of a Board is just that. He's not the CEO.

Just with government eyes on how they see the results since McConalogue appointed Murrin.

Since Larry Murrin was appointed chairperson (designate) of Bord Bia in February 2024, Irish food, drink, and horticulture export values have experienced significant growth, with 2025 exports reaching a record €19 billion. This represents a rise from the 2023 value of €16.3 billion (as reported in early 2024), or €16.7 billion (as reported in 2022). Key details regarding export performance during his tenure include:

• 2025 Value: Exports hit a record €19 billion, marking a 12% increase, driven by higher prices in beef and dairy.
• Sector Performance (2025): Dairy exports rose 14% to €7.3 billion, while meat and livestock exports increased by 18% to over €5 billion.
• Market Growth: The sector, described as Ireland's largest indigenous exporter, continues to see strong performance despite volatile trading conditions, as noted in Bord Bia Annual Report and Accounts 2024 and other reports. 

The figures indicate a, robust recovery and growth from the challenging 2023, with total exports, based on 2025 projections, sitting well above the €16-€17 billion mark maintained in the previous years. 

Use a combi mix with peas pretty similar protein to beans thats all Soya is.

I agree with you maize is king even for beef. Can be grown here but tricky have family that grew it. I am in Organic and lad in Cork growing organic maize get it in a mix off him. Barley/Wheat/Oats/Peas/ Maize his mix

Would an Foi request for personal health concerns be the means to getting the companies named

Sinn Fein are on the case.
