The IFA demonstration is in protest against what they say is the inaction of Minister Simon Coveney.
The demonstratiors have built a hay barricade outside the Department and vow to remain in place until they get a response from the Minister.
They’re accusing Simon Coveney of siding with factories and letting down livestock farmers still struggling in the aftermath of the horsemeat scandal.
IFA President Eddie Downey says Minister Coveney should represent farmers – and not industry.
