The Pandoro shipping company, live cattle exporters and farm organisations, will meet again on March 20th to finalise an agreement on the company's carriage of cattle from Ireland.

Following a meeting between the sides yesterday, chaired by the Minister for Agriculture, Mr Yates, progress was reported in the dispute over cattle exports on the P & O Line.

Pandoro has been refusing to transport live cattle for slaughter since early in 1995.
