Galway Bay fm newsroom - A local TD has told the Dáil there will be no next generation of young beef farmers unless the Government takes action.
Deputy Claire Kerrane was contributing to a debate on the need for the establishment of an independent beef regulator.
She said as someone who grew up on a beef farm, it's very hard to watch farmers break their backs for very little in return.
Sinn Fein Deputy Kerrane said she was "at a loss" as to why the Government has failed to address the situation.
She pointed out that previous Agriculture Ministers have supported the creation of a beef regulator.
Deputy Kerrane warned if action isn't taken, farmers will close their gates - and there will be no next generation - to hear more on this, tune in to FYI Galway@5
