IFA Refuses Meeting With Bord Bia Chair Following Brazilian Beef Controversy

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 after Martin Heydon asked the Irish Farmer's Association to accept an invitation from Larry Murrin to attend a council meeting so he could explain how and why his company, Dawn Farm Foods, has been importing brazilian beef.

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

Protests against the semi-state company are continuing today.
