20 photos from the farmers protest at Dáil Eireann in Dublin city

Up to 15000 farmers marched to Dáil Eireann today against proposals from the European Union that could see Ireland's CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) allocation cut by up to 30%.

The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) has said Ireland's CAP budget for the upcoming years is under serious pressure and they are calling on the Irish Government to negotiate for better terms for Irish farmers.

We were at Dáil Eireann today covering the protest. Here are 20 photos from the protest today:
