Bear Grylls wouldn’t get a look in with the IFA on Tuesday night at the Bord Bia HQ.

Food and supplies were being lorried in to the “protesters”.

While Bear Grylls recommends some waterproof matches, a pen knife, emergency whistle and a snare wire to be included in an essential survival kit, the IFA kit had a more “Pembroke Road” feel to it.

The Dealer got a glimpse of some Nivea deodorant, toothpaste, the all-important toilet roll, traybakes, Tayto, chocolate biscuits and Coca Cola for that 3am slump, all included in the survival kit ushered in through the front door late on Tuesday night.

This was preceded earlier in the day by seven small square bales of straw, which I’m told the Bord Bia crew were particularly displeased with.

It’ll be blocking the hoover for weeks.
