Five beef farmers have agreed to comply with a High Court injunction stopping them blockading meat processing plants.

The farmers can continue to stage peaceful demonstrations outside Slaney Foods in Co. Wexford, but can't blockade trucks moving in or out of the site.

Injunctions relating to farmers protesting outside Dawn Meats and ABP plants have been made permanent.

Irish Farmers Association President Joe Healy says the farmers just want a better price for their cattle:

Healy said "I have a very clear for MII, and that's to get out of the High Court."

"Get back down to supporting the farmers and paying a proper price to the farmers that won't lead to any of the distrust and anger that's there."
