The price of beef will dominate a meeting in Laois this evening.
Farmers will gather at the Killeshin Hotel in Portlaoise from 8pm to seek answers from meat factories as to why there's a significant price gap between Irish beef and the rest of the world.
The President of the Irish Farmers Association, Tim Cullinane, as well as speakers from Teagasc and Bord Bia will be in attendance.
