flag Irish farmers demand Bord Bia chair Larry Murrin resign over sourcing beef from Brazil, threatening export reputation.

flag Irish farmers are demanding the resignation of Bord Bia chairman Larry Murrin over a conflict of interest after his company, Dawn Farm Foods, sourced beef from Brazil. flag The Irish Farmers’ Association and Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association argue this undermines trust in Ireland’s quality food programs like Quality Approved and Origin Green. flag Despite support from Bord Bia’s CEO and Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon, farmers insist Murrin must step down to protect Ireland’s export reputation amid concerns that the EU-Mercosur trade deal could flood markets with cheaper Brazilian beef. flag Protests continue outside Bord Bia’s Dublin offices, with farmers vowing to persist until their demand is met.
