ICMSA president cautions against over-optimism on milk prices

THE president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association Jackie Cahill cautioned yesterday against over-optimism over this year’s milk price.

He repeated his conviction that it is now abundantly clear European Union policy on the milk sector has failed.

Mr Cahill criticised the inability or unwillingness of policymakers to accept that production levels and farm price were linked.
