Dairygold members demand co-op holds EGM to discuss shelving MSA

Members of Dairygold are to demand that the co-op host an emergency meeting to discuss shelving the Milk Supply Agreement.

The group expects it will soon have the 250 signatures it needs to force Dairygold to host an emergency general meeting. Once it forwards this petition, it says the co-op will have 14 days to host the meeting.

“We are working as quickly as we can to put the motion together,” said Mid-Cork farmer Ned McCarthy, one of six farmers who signed a statement issued to the media yesterday. “Dairygold will be obliged to hold the meeting. If they don’t, we’ll hold it ourselves.
