Bid to remove Dairgold directors

A MOTION proposing no confidence in the board of directors of Dairygold and seeking their removal from office is to be moved at the co-op's annual general meeting next week.

Formal notice has been served by registered post on the near €1 billion-a-year-turnover society on behalf of a group of shareholders.

A vote of no confidence in the board was also passed at last year's AGM, with the result that nine of the 10 directors resigned within days.
