Organisation says they will continue staging protests
The Irish Farmers Association says they'll continue staging protests until there's a substantial increase in beef prices.
The latest 12-hour blockade is taking place outside Tesco's main distribution centre in Donabate, north county Dublin.
The company says today's action is regrettable.
Aldi on Thursday, Lidl on Friday - and today, it was a Tesco distribution centre that was the target of the latest IFA protest.
Products are usually driven from this hub - which is the size of 10 football pitches - to the chain's stores across the country.
But since 7 o'clock this morning, a group of around 30 farmers have stopped any trucks getting in or out:
Today's demonstration is part of the long-running dispute over beef prices.
On Friday, one of the largest beef processors in the country - ABP - announced it would increase the base price it pays for cattle from today.
But the IFA says the suggested rise of between 5 and 10 cent a kilo isn't enough.
President Joe Healy says companies like Tesco have a role to play.
"We want the retailers to get a very clear message back to the beef processors that there has to be a price rise immediately for the beef farners," he said.
The organisation says more protests will follow unless there's a significant price increase.
