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.

Agriculture Minister and Kildare South TD, Martin Heydon, says protestors should be going through representative bodies to get their concerns heard:
