GALWAY FARMER VOICES ANGER FROM INSIDE SIT-IN PROTEST

Date Published: 31-Oct-2007

A Galway farmer at the IFA sit-in protest inside the EU Commission offices in Dublin is describing the mood inside as one of anger and frustration.

IFA Connacht Vice President Michael Silke from Eyrecourt has been with the 30 farmers since they began their protest yesterday.

They say they will not leave until they are given a copy of an official EU report on the quality of meat production in Brazil.

The Irish Farmers Association claims the report raises serious concerns and that the Commission is refusing to release the findings.
