Agriculture Minister Michael Creed has scheduled talks on Monday – but Independent Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice is encouraging TDs from all parties to lobby for the talks to be brought forward to this afternoon.

Farmers have been protesting at processing plants in Tipperary and across the country for a number of weeks.
