Farmer’s three-day sit-in at Dairygold in row over shares and disputed payments

His three-day sit-in at Dairygold Co-op’s boardroom may have landed him in the High Court, but dairy farmer Ned McCarthy remains adamant: “I’m definitely not going to give up on getting my money.”

Mr McCarthy, who claims he is owed €23,000 by Dairygold in shares and other payments, says he intends to pursue the matter via the Circuit Court.

“All I want is for Dairygold to pay me what’s owed me and then I can move on,” said Mr McCarthy, who was served with a temporary injunction by the co-operative when he refused to leave its premises in Mitchelstown last month.
