This afternoon.
Grannagh, Waterford and Christendom Avenue, Ferrybank, Waterford.
Independent farmers protest outside a Dawn Meats factory (pics 1-2) and an ABP meat factory (3-4) as talks between processors and farm organisations about beef prices and the Mercosur deal continue.
According to the Irish Farmer’s Journal, protests have also taken place at the gates of ABP in Cahir, County Tipperary; Kepak Ennis, County Clare and Meadow Meats, Rathdowney, County Laois.

I glanced at the farmers journal over the weekend and the tactics used by MII are worthy of a triad gang
Fair play to the farmers, doing what the Irish Farmers Association has pathetically failed to do, stand up for its members who are being preyed upon by the processors.
Meanwhile, the glorified knackeryman is worth €2.455 billion.
