Clare farmers are expected to protest outside the Kerry Group milk suppliers today over the prices they are being offered for their dairy produce.
The Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) said producers were being "let down" by poor prices at a time when they were being hit with massive cost increases.
"Kerry used to be a milk price leader, setting the pace for the industry, and always paying a top price," said IFA deputy president Derek Deane.
