Protesters confront Meat Industry Ireland representatives at the Department of Agriculture where the beef taskforce was due to meet. \ Claire Nash

I see Longford politician and farmer Paraic “Saddam” Brady was hauled before the Fine Gael hierarchy for his recent beef protests. Brady was given a warning by Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan and reminded of his responsibilities.
Brady has turned into something of a cult figure. He was vocal at the protest in Ballyjamesduff and – perhaps more importantly – at Larry Goodman’s C&D pet food plant. He still has an injunction hanging over him from there.
Brady was unwavering in his support of the farmers locally and reminded FG officials that these farmers helped him get re-elected as a county councillor in the summer.

Brady, known as Saddam since his football days where he won a few county championships from half-forward, will have an eye on more power if there’s a general election.
