IFA President Gorman said they still believe the carbon tax should be suspended.

“The government said that they’re not going to act on the carbon tax. I think they’re wrong,” he said.

Gorman said the protests have “maybe strengthened” the IFA’s position as they continue talks with government about other issues affecting the industry. However, he said most protesters are not members of the IFA.

“The asks of the protesters that are out at the moment initially was ‘give us a meeting, and and we’ll go home’,” he said.

“We had a meeting on 1 April, and we went in with the Farm Contractors’ Association of Ireland, and we put forward our asks. We waited eight days, nine days now, and we still haven’t got a response to the proposals that we send in.”

David McRedmond, CEO of An Post, said that while there has been some disruption to the postal service, the fact that most of their work is done at night means clogged roads each day haven’t affected them significantly.

“I’m really happy to say we’re pretty much hitting all of our targets,” he told Newstalk.

Fuels For Ireland chief executive Kevin McPartland said yesterday that “panic buying has absolutely taken hold” and warned that “real significant life-death problems are going to be caused” with fuel supplies to emergency service vehicles under threat.

Ireland’s emergency planning group echoed the comments with “serious concern”, saying there may be an impacts on availability for some vital services, supply chains and public transport.

The National Emergency Co-ordination Group (NECG) said the country’s’s overall fuel supplies remain “robust and resilient” but said the obstruction of key routes from ports is threatening the provision of animal feed supplies, fertiliser and other vital materials, resulting in potential animal welfare issues and a threat to livelihoods in the agriculture sector.

Elsewhere, the Luas says that there are still no Green Line services between Stephen’s Green and Dominick Street.

However, Red Line services are operating as normal.

Dublin Bus has said that a number of services have been cancelled or diverted this morning as a result of road closures. They’ve shared a full list of affected services on their website here.

Amid speculation about who will attend this afternoon’s meeting with the government, Ger Hyland, President of the Irish Road Haulage Association, told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland that he didn’t know whether anyone representing protesters would be there.

But he said his group – one of those meeting with the government – would be available to talk to the protesters beforehand.

“There’s two people from our association going to this meeting today, and before we go to that meeting, we are available to meet some of the protesters,” Hyland said.

“Who goes to a government meeting? I can’t decide who I bring in and who I won’t. That is a decision for government, who they bring to any meeting.”

A meeting is to be held by Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon and Minister of State Timmy Dooley today with a number of representative groups – and one of the top protest organisers says that he’ll also be in attendance.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Prime Time last night, Dooley confirmed that the meeting was taking place, though he did not clarify if the organisers of the protests are attending the meeting.

“I can only tell you the Government’s position, which is that we’re tomorrow, we’re meeting with representative groupings that have been invited,” Dooley said.

“Who those groups choose to bring with them is a matter for those representative bodies. So I don’t know.”

He added that the Government has issued invitations to the representative bodies to “continue the dialogue that started last week between Minister Heydon and the Tánaiste”.

“There were proposals put forward at that and that did include the IFA, the ICMSA, it included contractors, groupings and associations. My clear information is that it will be those groups who have been invited and will be in attendance,” Dooley added.

James Geoghegan, an agricultural contractor and one of the self-styled leaders of the protests, told Prime Time that the meeting will take place aty 2.30pm today, and seemed to imply that he would be in attendance.
