Former IFA President and Offaly GAA Chairman Tom Parlon, alongside members of Offaly IFA outside Bord Bia HQ this morning.

Protests are currently taking place outside Bord Bia.

The IFA says it has no interest in meeting with the Chair of Bord Bia after an invitation from the agriculture minister. 

It comes as Minister Martin Heydon has asked the IFA to accept an invitation from the Chair of Bord Bia to attend a council meeting and provide a briefing on the company’s use of Brazilian beef.

IFA President, Ballinakill's Francie Gorman has also requested that the Minister meet with the Bord Bia board excluding the Chair to discuss the current situation.

Protests against Bord Bia are continuing today.
