‘Huge opportunities on horizon for dairy industry’

Huge opportunities are on the horizon for the Irish dairy industry, according to Glanbia group managing director John Moloney.

Mr Moloney, yesterday told a Waterford Chamber conference at the Tower Hotel, that although one in seven Irish jobs are now linked to the agri-food sector, this can grow even more in the coming years.

He said Ireland has an export-centric economy, and added the capability of producers and suppliers to drive this market has already been proven and will enable it to compete for a slice of the growing global market for dairy products.
