Meat Industry Ireland says some customers in export markets haven’t received deliveries of beef due to the ongoing farmer protests outside its factories.
In a statement released this evening, it says 17 plants are now affected, with some fully blockaded.
It comes despite a series of High Court injunctions being in place, banning protests outside several factories.
However, the group says it’s not yet at the point where supplies of beef to Irish supermarkets are affected.
Earlier today, protesters in Laois stopped trucks leaving from a Meat processing plant in Rathdowney.
Up to 40 protestors were outside the facility in Rathdowney and stopped two lorries from leaving.
A spokesperson for the group says they are holding a peaceful protest and are fighting for a decent standard of living.
Gardaí are at the scene.
