"Farmers are passionate about what they do, and the level they have to reach to ensure quality and traceable food."

A demonstration against the chairperson of Bord Bia will take place in Co. Cavan tonight.

The IFA is holding a public meeting to discuss the ongoing protest inside the Bord Bia buildings in the Cavan Crystal Hotel this evening.

The meeting is set to start at 8pm, with IFA President Francis Gorman in attendance.

Richard Moran from Mountnugent is among the protestors in Bord Bia, as well as Patrick McCormack from Monaghan.

The farm organisations have held similar protests about the situation with Bord Bia, including a protest in Athy, Co. Kildare last night.

Speaking ahead of the protest tonight, the IFA's Co. Monaghan chair, Tom Treanor.

The local farmer said that farmers are angry, and confidence in Bord Bia has broken down.

Tom told Northern Sound: "We're very angry. We want to give an opportunity to people from this region to actually hear the facts related to the problem. We would like to see families and consumers coming as well.
