West Cork has milk winners all round

West Cork’s high milk prices have helped the region dominate the NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards, announced this week.

The success of Carbery, the international manufacturer of value-added ingredients, flavours and cheese, has resulted consistently in the country’s highest milk prices being paid to suppliers to the four West Cork co-ops which jointly own Carbery — Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh, and Lisavaird.

Suppliers like Kieran and Catherine O’Sullivan, from Dunmanus, Goleen, Co Cork, have put the higher West Cork milk earnings to good use.
