ABP has brought a halt to its legal actions against protesting beef farmers.
According to the Farming Independent, ABP and Kepak have both filed a Notice of Discontinuance in their High Court proceedings against farmers who blockaded their factories during the beef dispute.
A number of processors sought legal action after protests disrupted production, leading to hundreds of workers being temporarily laid off.
ABP had claimed blockades at its Ferrybank and Cahir plants had led to a loss of revenue in excess of €1.5 million.

It's reported other processors are expected to put an end to their legal actions in the coming days and weeks.
