On 19 October an Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD announced that Level 5 restrictive measures will apply as of midnight, Wednesday, 21 October. In response, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has directed that from that time, livestock marts adjust their operations, as follows:
These measures are subject to ongoing review and may be amended as required to ensure compliance with government policy on COVID-19.
These measures are largely similar to those put in place in April and May.
Marts wishing to operate from midnight, 21 October, must submit a revised standard operating procedure (“Level 5 SOP – October”) to their Regional Veterinary Office for approval as soon as possible.
DAFM has informed marts representative organisations of these new measures, and will write to all marts today informing them of the new measures.
