IFA pickets lifted as farmers resolve grain price dispute with Glanbia

FARMERS have resolved their dispute with Glanbia over the prices they are being paid for grain.

Members of the Irish Farmers Association staged a five-day protest outside grain mills in Portlaoise and Clonroche, Co Wexford, during which the company issued protective notices to 27 production employees.

The dispute, which took place against a difficult trading year for all involved in the grain sector, was resolved following intensive contacts and discussions between the IFA and Glanbia.
