The country's main farm union wants the ban on livestock buyers going to marts in person urgently reviewed.
It's after auctions at up to 15 marts had to be cancelled when one of the main apps being used for video sales collapsed yesterday morning.

IFA president and Toomevara's Tim Cullinane says marts just don't have the internet infrastructure for virtual auctions:
