Dairygold members still seeking clarity on milk supply contracts
Over 1,000 of the Co-Op’s 3,100 members gathered in Mallow GAA complex last week to discuss their concerns about the MSA. When asked by the discussion chairman, Donoughmore farmer Conor O’Leary, if they would like to see the contract torn up and to be involved in the redrafting of a new contract, the overwhelming majority raised their hands.
Addressing the meeting, Tipperary-based solicitor Oliver Ryan-Purcell advised people to take individual counsel before signing. He said suppliers were left with a complex series of issues to consider when reading the MSA, the aligned Terms & Conditions document and Dairygold’s recent clarification document.
