A Co Cavan senator has described the actions of Bord Bia chairman, Larry Murrin as "utterly unacceptable."
Dawn Farms, one of Ireland's largest meat suppliers, and whose CEO is Larry Murrin is in the spotlight following the news that it sourced Brazilian beef.
Aontu's Sarah O'Reilly has called for Larry Murrin to appear before the Dail's Agricultural Committee following revelations that a company headed up by him sourced beef from one of the Mercosur countries.
Aontú Senator Sarah O'Reilly says Irish farmers are currently doing their utmost to block the hugely contentious Mercosur Trade Deal and fighting for their very survival.
She added that this will hardly inspire them with confidence.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Senator O'Reilly believes the Agricultural Committee in the Dáil has a duty to ensure that Mr Murrin appears before it.
