AS FUEL PROTESTS enter their fourth day, Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon and Minister of State Timmy Dooley said that they are due to meet with a number of representative groups this afternoon.
Dooley confirmed the meeting will go ahead, but did not confirm whether protest organisers will be in attendance.
“Who those groups choose to bring with them is a matter for those representative bodies,” he told RTÉ’s Prime Time last night.
Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee said that only established representative bodies have been invited – adding she does not know “who they’re bringing”.
However, protest spokesperson James Geoghegan said that he expects to attend the meeting, which is scheduled for 2:30pm.
