IFA queries why Dairy Board failed to appoint farmer as new chairman
The IFA had hoped the IDB would elect a farmer into the chair. IFA national dairy committee chairman Kevin Kiersey has been elected as vice-chairman of the IDB, succeeding Jackie Cahill. The four candidates for chairman were Kevin Kiersey, Aaron Forde, Jackie Cahill, and John O’Brien of Barryroe.
IFA president John Bryan said he wished Mr Forde well in the position but added: “Dairy farmers will be asking why none of the three capable and experienced farmer candidates were worthy of selection as chairman.
