Longford County Council are inviting the public to an information evening tonight from 6-8 pm at Áras an Chontae.

A proposed development study area has been established on Bord na Móna land close to Drumlosh in south County Roscommon.

Under Mercosur, the EU would grant a quota of 99,000 tonnes of beef per year.

Public consultation on the plan is taking place in Roscommon Library today from 3 o'clock to 7 o'clock

In total, 5,200 people from across the country will be granted Citizenship.

The company purchased the site from Longford County Council and is seeking planning approval to establish a three-storey production hub.

There was family entertainment throughout the day on The Square, including live music.

If passed, the agreement would see beef enter the EU at a much reduced tariff rate, in a blow to Irish farmers.
