Annalitten Eggs "always passes on any increases it gets to the farmers".
Those were the comments of Annalitten Egg's Michael O'Reilly, following an egg producer protest outside the Castleblayney business yesterday.
IFA's Ulster-North Leinster Chair, Frank Brady, was at the protest, and said farmers need an increase of 2 cent per egg in order to cover rising costs and keep their businesses running.
