"We aren’t really calling it a protest, it is more of a rally or a demonstration. It is in solidarity with our European farmers," explained spokesperson and Carlow woman Marian Dalton. It comes from us farmers.”This evening, the protest will take to the streets of Carlow, with tractors due to leave the O’Brien Road FBD offices at 7pm and travel through Carlow Town. Marian has urged for all Carlow farmers to join in on the demonstration to ensure that their voices get heard. "We will move through Carlow Town as quickly as possible and have chosen these times in order to avoid rush hour traffic around Carlow.”
