Beef farmers continue protests in Cahir

Protests continue outside the ABP plant in Cahir today as some farmers defy the threat of High Court injunctions against them.

Meat Industry Ireland has said more than a dozen sites across the country have stopped operating, and staff have been laid off since the pickets began.

This farmer from the Cashel area is among those maintaining a presence outside the ABP plant this lunchtime.

She says they’re there for the long haul.
