Farmers called on to hold back lambs from factories with protest planned for Dublin

Sheep farmers are "at their wits' end, they are crying out for help but nobody is listening", according to Mr McNamara.

Sheep farmers are being called on to hold back lambs from factories tomorrow (Tuesday) on the day of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association's protest.

ICSA sheep chair Sean McNamara said the focus of the protest will be the "lack of support from the Government" for the sector, "but we are also clear that factories cannot be absolved of blame".
