Creed calls on Taoiseach to launch offensive on behalf of dairy sector

TAOISEACH Brian Cowen has been urged to launch a political and diplomatic offensive to address the crisis engulfing the dairy sector.

Fine Gael agriculture spokesperson Michael Creed, who made the call, said there had been no serious political engagement on the issue and no tangible price improvements for farmers.

“I fear that casualties will not be limited to the farm gate. Some processors are in a vulnerable position.”
