Farmers have warned that they won't accept being "offered as a sacrificial lamb" to the Green party to keep the Government in office.

Following Friday’s four regional rallies around the country, Irish Farmers Association (IFA) president Tim Cullinan said it should be clear to the Government that anger is building amongst farmers on the ground.
