Meat processors in Ireland have come under increased pressure from Irish beef farmers and farm organisations.
The latest report from the Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC), indicates that Irish heifer prices have witnessed the largest increase.
Falling grass growth rates have resulted in more cattle being offered for sale in recent days; leading to unseasonable increases in stock numbers in some marts across the country.
British and Irish R3 heifer prices are edging towards parity, with the difference standing at just 3.7c/kg in the week ending June 4.
Irish heifer prices overtook Northern Irish prices last month, resulting in a top three position for the month of May, according to LMC.
Irish heifer prices are the fifth highest in the EU, according to the latest figures from the Livestock and Meat Commission.
The heifer price divide between the Republic of Ireland and the North remained at 9.6c/kg in the week ending April 16, figures show.
