Spokesperson for the Beef Plan Movement says its about more than fighting for an increase in the price of cattle.
Vice-chair of the Western Region, David Whelehan, said that the movement’s goals stretch far beyond the price of cattle.
He cited anti-competitive practices in the industry and unfair practices as major issues for farmers that must be resolved at any beef talks or summits.
Midwest Radio News spoke with a representative of the movement protesting outside Dawn Meats Ballyhaunis, who said the movement would not end with just an increase in beef prices.
