The Irish Farmers Association held their AGM today.
A Fine Gael MEP says Irish farmers fears over Mercosur are exaggerated.
Last week a majority of EU member states voted in favour of the deal, which will now go back to MEPs to have their say.
Farmers here are concerned about the standard of beef which will be imported from South American countries, if the agreement is approved.
Ireland South MEP, Sean Kelly told WLR if Mercosur goes through, it will not be as bad for farmers as feared:
The Irish Farmers Association disagrees with Sean Kelly's claims.
The organisation's AGM is taking place in Dublin this afternoon.
President, Francie Gorman says Sean Kelly should remember who voted for him:
