Farmers angry over milk prices stage live protest
The Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association said its members also occupied the offices for two hours and handed in a letter outlining how dairy farmers are producing milk below the cost of production.
A spokesperson for the European Commission Representation in Ireland said it had accepted the letter and undertook to forward it to the Brussels office of Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel, who was aware of the difficulties in the sector.
