THE EUROPEAN UNION wants people to eat more lamb, so it’s pumping over €7 million into a promotion campaign.
Sheep meat consumption and production has been down 20% since 2000, something that Ireland, England and France hope to change.
A €7.7 million campaign has been launched in more than six European countries to encourage people to cook with lamb.
Working together
Minister for Agriculture Food and the Marine Simon Coveney said that “as major European sheep meat producing countries we have a shared interest in working together to tackle the decline in sheep meat consumption. We can achieve more together”.
The campaign, aimed at those aged between 25-45, will highlight the importance of European lamb production and increase consumer awareness of lamb as a versatile daily-use meat. It aims to raise the likelihood of consumer purchases by 5% over three years starting in spring 2015.
Ireland is the second largest sheep meat exporter in the EU.
The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association (ICSA) sheep chairman Paul Brady said that given the decline in sheep meat consumption, particularly in recent years, this announcement of further collaboration in the use of EU funds is particularly welcome.
There has already been co-operation between France, England and Ireland in relation to lamb sales, and it is to be hoped that investing further and involving more countries in this promotion will be of benefit to all, particularly the primary producers.

Keep his wifes name out of your journal…
@honey badger: very sad how she treated him.
@honey badger: Aaaahhhhh!!! Beat me to it….
@Dman: meh, if he wants to be a cuckhold or a door Matt , that’s his prerogative. Him being divorced etc might harm his bank account for a short while , his earning capacity and career would have been sound unlike her . He’s popular , she isn’t . A nice ruthless campaign of her being the ho , and she’d be finished in Hollywood. He’s the star not her . Of course , many Big Willy is hiding behind a certain lifestyle and has her as cover ?
Oh we can comment on this one. Great that we can debate such an important topic.
@Billy heffernan: honey badger first to badger ya s
When Chuck Norris slagged Jada, Will Smith slapped himself.
@Thomas Berry: I laughed so much at this lol
@Thomas Berry: he probably shagged her too
@Christy Dolan: doubt he can get it up
She made a right clown outta him, runnin off with their son’s friend. I’d say he’s mortified
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: He’s no OJ . Least the brothers would understand if he did the OJ
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: They were quite clearly in an open relationship for years, him and Margot Robbie had a grand auld time. Not the first business partnership ‘marriage’ in Hollywood and won’t be the last
Who or what people of Ireland really care
Revelations in her book must be fresh prints.
She made a holy show of him.
Ever wonder why Will Smith has starred in so many Sci-Fi movies and where the finance comes from?
That’s right.
The church of scien-tology
The algorithm won’t allow the term s c i e n t o l o g y.
Strange.
@Tommy Haze: Scientology.
@Tommy Haze: You’re so right, it is strange.
@Diarmuid Hunt:
Mysterious.
scientology
Hmm.
@Tommy Haze: My second comment was a bit of a joke, there’s nothing mysterious about it if you’re honest.
@ : Premature and a little harsh, you should have let it play out.
@Diarmuid Hunt:
Believe it or not.
I tried to post my original comment 5 times without success. Tried to figure out why. Broke up the word and presto..it posted.
@Tommy Haze: is he one of them ? Interesting . Thought he had more sense
It’s a crazy world in Hollywood. By all accounts though, she’s not a nice person at all.
Will lost his career over a wife that didn’t exist and a health condition she never had.
Oh stop now Jada. Why was he punching that fella at the Oscars then?
@Molly Colly: coz he hard her name in his mouth or something. I wonder what he meant by “name”
Malignant narcissist. She is some piece of work.
All that success/money/fame and I feel so sorry for him. He wanted to remain married, at the very least for the separation to be quiet. Then she gets to blow the lid so she can sell a fee books. Sucubus.
Anyone see the cringiest piece of garbage ever made?
It was a table full of actors, big names. Will Smith, Bennico Del Toro, Don Cheadle among star names i honestly cannot remember the rest.
So Smith’s turn to talk, went something like “how did i get my wife? I told her i was gonna be the biggest movie star on the planet, and that was that”
Big smug smile on his face as if it were true and she was smitten. Nobody at the table even agreed with him. It was so so cringy I felt embarrassed for him
She seems like a very unpleasant character. He’s not much better.
LGBTQ/BLM are making a new updated version of Men in Black! It’s called Men in Black Men.. Lol
@patrick kelly: This comment should have been blocked. Homophobic, inappropriate and not at all funny
@patrick kelly: meh
@patrick kelly: Gosh, you’re a riot. NOT.
Couldn’t give a Fiddle!!!!
Doesn’t matter how big a man is, a woman can always slap him around
@mainmsam: shur what harm is an aul slap eh?
Keep my ex wife’s name out of your daaam mouth
Well I didn’t see that coming
She was delighted he slapped him. I recall her face when Chris rock was joking, will actually laughed and she glared at him so much it could have killed him there and then. She’s the. Problem & controller it’s clear as day the man can do nothing right.
have your say
