Enda Fingleton, southeast regional chair of the Beef Plan and one of its negotiators in the recent Backweston told the Irish Farmers Journal that it had officially stood down all protests.

“Beef Plan are still waiting on the factories to remove the threat of legal action against Beef Plan and named individuals,” the Laois farmer said.
Understandable
“The fact that farmers are back on the gates is, in a lot of ways understandable, as the talks in Backweston did address some issues [but] it left a lot of questions unanswered," he said.
“Farmers are [expected] to take the word of MII and Bord Bia on supermarket specs with no evidence of those specs. And Bord Bia admitted that they work off MII figures,” Fingleton said.
