While only one injuncted farmer has been summoned to the High Court today, a significant number of farmers injuncted by five processors have decided to attend today's proceedings.
News of the injunction did not appear to deter independent farmers from protesting as they remained positioned at the three entrances to the meat plant in Clohamon, Co Wexford, on Thursday. However, noticeably the farmers named in the injunction were not present.
