In a statement issued by agriculture minister Martin Heydon, he reiterates his confidence in Larry Murrin as Bord Bia chair. “Mr Murrin continues to have my full confidence to serve as Chair of Bord Bia,” he said. Meanwhile protests at Bord Bia offices in Dublin by the Irish Farmers’ Association are ongoing, while the 'Bord Bia Five' continue to occupy the building. The minister said 140 staff in Bord Bia remain unable to access their offices in Dublin to resume normal working due to the continued occupation of the building. At a Bord Bia board meeting on February 18, the IFA submitted a document consisting of seven strands of commitments for Bord Bia to initiate following the various issues that have arisen in recent weeks.
