Farmer Protests Are Set To Target Supermarkets In An Escalation Of The Row Over Beef Prices
Beef Plan Movement says the 'peaceful protests' will begin over the coming days
Stores such as Tesco, Dunnes and SuperValue are among those likely to be picketed.
It comes as the second round of talks aimed at resolving the dispute between farmers and meat factories are due to start tomorrow.
However, retailers won't be present, despite repeated requests from farmers that they be included.
Throughout the week, farmers protested outside three meat processing plants across Cork.
A blockade was in place outside of the ABP plant in Bandon, with protests outside Dawn Meats in Charleville and Kepac in Watergrasshill as well.
