Farmers have returned to Dublin, deliberately closing some city centre routes to traffic.

They're angry at the low price of beef, and say if it's not increased many won't survive into the new year.

The group of independent farmers are calling on politicians to help bring prices above the cost of production.

They want an emergency meeting of the beef task force and an immediate increase in prices.

Farmers say they would end their protest straight away if the Minister for Agriculture agreed to meet them.

They've once again gathered on tractors in the city centre to highlight their plea.

The beef taskforce met earlier this month but farmers say they are not satisfied.

Talks between farmers and meat processors are due to take place again on January 9th.
