‘Perfect’ plant washing routine, say judges

West Cork farmers Kieran and Catherine O’Sullivan have won Ireland’s top dairy prize at the National Dairy Council and Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards.

The O’Sullivans operate a 107-hectare dairy farm in Dunmanus, Goleen, Co Cork, along with 18-year-old son, Cathal. Their milk is supplied to Drinagh Co-op and processed by Carbery to make products ranging from Dubliner cheese to Kinetica sports nutrition products.

The O’Sullivans are the fifth generation of their family to farm at Dunmanus in a beautiful part of West Cork, where their farm has views of the ocean. Kieran’s parents, Donal and Mary, also live on the farm.
