The Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed TD, will convene talks tomorrow Saturday 14 September  with a view to finding an urgent solution to the current dispute.

Now is the time for people to take a step back from entrenched positions and to take a positive approach towards resolving their differences. 

I have engaged intensively with all sides and have a deep understanding of the outstanding issues, and the emotion, involved.  I expect all sides to recognise the urgency of the current situation, and to enter talks in good faith and with a firm intention to reach agreement tomorrow.
