Weather forecast
It will be cloudy this morning, with scattered outbreaks of showery rain along the east, according to Met Éireann. A few breaks will develop in the cloud across the western half of the country during the day, but mostly it will remain cloudy. Highest temperatures of 13°C to 17°C.
It will be dry and cool tonight, with lowest temperatures of 7°C to 9°C.
The IFA has made a proposal to maintain the levy system as it is the "fairest and most appropriate mechanism" for funding the association.
There is more to France than Euro 2016, as it remains our second most important market for beef exports and main export market for lamb.
Draft plans to tighten up official controls from farm to fork were informally agreed by food safety MEPs and the Dutch presidency of the council on Wednesday.
