Translink, the company which provides public transport in Northern Ireland, is to remove vegan adverts from buses.
Go Vegan ads on buses drew criticism in recent days, with the Ulster Farmers Union (UFU) claiming they wrongly demonised the livestock industry. The UFU wrote to Translink asking it to remove the adverts.
A spokesperson for Translink confirmed the ads would be removed.
