Talks were held at the Department of Agriculture in another attempt to resolve the increasingly bitter beef dispute, days after processors said they had temporarily laid off some 3,000 staff in response to blockades by farmers at their factories.

MII was the last of a series of groups connected with the dispute to meat the Minister, following the Irish Farmers’ Association; the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association; the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association; the Beef Plan Movement and the Independent Farmers of Ireland group.

The one-on-one sessions with Mr Creed will be followed by a plenary session involving all of the parties later on Saturday. He has pointed out that while the price that farmers are being paid has decreased, there has been no reduction in the price Supermacs pays for its beef.
