Summary
This Teagasc podcast episode, presented by Ciaran Lynch with Amanda McEvoy from Teagasc Athenry, previews the 2026 National Sheep Conference. Rather than reporting original empirical research, it contextualises practitioner and policy perspectives on governance, economic, and sustainability challenges in the Irish sheep industry. The format reflects current sector discourse and institutional priorities in Irish sheep farming.
Regional applicability
This episode is directly relevant to Ireland and Teagasc policy context. The governance and sector priorities discussed are specific to the Irish sheep industry; transferability to United Kingdom conditions would depend on commonalities in regulatory frameworks and market structures, though Irish and UK sheep sectors operate under distinct policy regimes post-Brexit.
Key measures
Not applicable — qualitative discussion of sector priorities and institutional perspectives rather than quantitative metrics.
