Dairygold must address issues
Mr O’Keeffe was speaking following the ICMSA’s meeting in Millstreet on Tuesday, which dealt with the Dairygold milk supply agreement. Dairygold chief executive Jim Woulfe, the co-op’s chairman, Bertie O’Leary, and other senior executives attended.
Mr O’Keeffe said: “The abolition of milk quotas in 2015 is coming closer. Along with the hopes and expectations involved, there is growing concerns among milk suppliers regarding the stability of arrangements post-quota and the possibility that price volatility and see-saw price and supply movements will undermine the viability of milk suppliers.
