Sixty tractors from Laois are expected in Dublin today, as part of the ongoing beef dispute.
Up to sixty tractors from the midlands are expected in Dublin today, as part of the ongoing beef dispute.
Farmers are protesting outside Leinster House, in an effort to highlight the low price they're paid for their cattle.
The latest action follows blockades of retail distribution centres by farmers in Kildare, Cork and Dublin last week.
The next meeting of the Beef Market Taskforce - which retailers will attend - is due to take place on January 9th.
But this local farmer thinks protesting is still necessary:
Large parts of the city centre are closed due to the protest.
The group of independent farmers say many won't survive into the new year if beef prices remain below the cost of production.
They want an emergency meeting of the beef task force and an immediate increase in prices.
This midlands farmer says he's protesting because he's lost faith in the discussions:
