The Government had indicated they would be allowed join talks if they were part of the national groups delegation
Protestors have been turned away from a meeting between the Government and agriculture bodies – saying they were told their names would be on the list.
There had been confusion over whether or not they would be allowed at the table – with the Government saying they would speak to them if they were part of the national associations' delegation.
Ministers attending the meeting, which began at 2.30pm, are Darragh O'Brien, Martin Heydon, Timmy Dooley, Sean Canney, Noel Grealish and Michael Healy Rae.
Five people, who have been a part of the protest, attempted to get in the door of the Department but were turned away.
After discussions outside, protestors Donal Byrne and owner of Kildare Agri Care Ltd., John Dallon, said the blockades and slow moving convoys will continue because their voice isn’t being heard at the table:
Agriculture Minister and Kildare South TD, Martin Heydon, says protestors should be going through representative bodies to get their concerns heard:
