The Beef Plan Movement’s co-chairs Hugh Doyle and Eamon Corley have said the organisation cannot and will not condone “the illegal blockading of factories”.
The pair were in the High Court on Friday observing proceedings, as temporary injunctions granted to ABP, Dawn Meats and Slaney Foods were made permanent against more than 20 named farmers.
In a statement issued to the Irish Farmers Journal, Doyle and Corley said:
“In accordance with ABP and Dawn Meats they recognise people’s constitutional and civil right to a peaceful protest. They have requested that there is no illegal blockading of their premises.
“Beef Plan’s position is the same and we have no intention of interfering with people’s constitutional and civil right to attend legal protests.”
Beef Plan supports the constitutional and civil rights of all farmers to peaceful protests in support of their livelihood
They continued: “Beef Plan supports the constitutional and civil rights of all farmers to peaceful protests in support of their livelihood.
“We cannot and will not condone the illegal blockading of factories. We recommend that all farmers adhere to the law of the land if they decide as an individual to support the protest.”
Defendant
The Beef Plan Movement Company Listed by Guarantee is listed as a defendant in court documents for proceedings taken by all five meat processors – ABP, Dawn Meats, Kepak, Slaney Foods and Liffey Meats.
