Farmers protest at Noel Grealish's Briarhill office as Bord Bia impasse continues

Farmers have protested at the Briarhill offices of Galway West TD and Junior Agriculture Minister Noel Grealish as the impasse continues over Bord Bia.

They're increasing the pressure on Chairperson Larry Murrin to resign over his company importing a small amount of Brazilian beef.

But Mr. Murrin has the strong backing of Government, who say the IFA has jumped the gun on the issue.

Around two dozen farmers turned up at Minister Grealish's office in Ballybrit this afternoon, and handed in a letter.

It's also claimed that Minister Grealish has completely failed to respond to their correspondence over the past few days.

That's something these farmers say is shocking.
