Meat Industry Ireland has warned politicians that the sector will continue to depend on workers from abroad to meet labour requirements.
Appearing before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Phillip Carroll, chairperson of Meat Industry Ireland said that 80% of the workforce were Irish or from an EU country.
He said that since 2018 the domestic workforce has been unable to meet the needs of the sector and that new permits for general operatives have helped fill vacancies.
