This morning.

People are flogging a pair of popular Lidl trainers online for £450.

The £14 pair of colourful shoes are eye-catching to say the least.

Now, they’re appearing on third party selling sites like eBay – and they’re even selling for over 30 times their original price..

Anyone?

Further to this morning’s farmers’ protest outside a Lidl distribution centre in Ballyhea, Co Cork this morning…

Claire McCormack, in Agriland, reports:

Meat processor ABP has confirmed that it will increase its base price for cattle next Monday, December 9.

AgriLand understands that a minimum increase of 5c/kg is expected.

In a statement issued this afternoon, Friday, December 6, a spokesperson for ABP confirmed the move, whilst also criticising the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) for staging a series of protests on the beef price issue over the last 48 hours.

The spokesperson said: “The company is at a complete loss to understand why Joe Healy, the outgoing IFA president, pursued a course of irresponsible, disruptive and illegal action at retail distribution centres this week.

“The Beef Taskforce met on Tuesday and Joe Healy and the IFA were fully aware that market indications pointed towards a cattle price increase in Ireland. This was reported extensively.”
