Farmers mount barley protest at Guinness brewery

Around 400 farmers have mounted a protest at the Guinness brewery in Dublin today over the price being paid to them for barley.

The Irish Farmers' Association said the growing of traditional malting barley is under threat because of a 20% drop in prices.

The IFA says this means Irish growers only get one cent from the price paid for a pint.

Guinness parent company Diageo, however, says it is not responsible for the price, which is set by market forces across Europe.
