A protestor came in through the back door of the hotel to gain access to the Minister.
The Agriculture Minister was "shouted and roared at" by a protestor during the ICSA's AGM last night.
Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers' Association President, Westmeath's Sean McNamara, says the farmer came in through the back door during the meeting at the Athlone Springs Hotel.
It's believed he was part of a group of protestors which had gathered outside the hotel, separate from the IFA's action, and he isn't a member of the ICSA.
Mr. McNamara says he doesn't agree with the way the farmer approached the Minister:
