The chairman of North Cork Creameries, Thomas O’Donoghue, acknowledged the contribution made by Mr Cronin, noting that his work has provided the Board with a detailed assessment of all business matters.
Mr O’Donoghue said the appointment of Stephen Daly represents an important step as the co-op addresses its strategic and operational position, and he emphasised the co-op’s strong milk pool as a key strength in all future developments.
“The Board remains committed to ensuring that all decisions are focused on securing a sustainable future for farm families and the important role that the co-operative plays in the regional dairy economy," Mr O’Donoghue said.
“The Board is guided by the long-term interests of the co-operative’s members and milk suppliers, our employees, customers and the wider community that the co-operative has served for generations.
"All of these matters are being approached with sensitivity as we evaluate available opportunities,” he concluded.
Mr O’Donoghue expressed appreciation to neighbouring co-ops for their solidarity and support, and to milk suppliers and employees, as North Cork Creameries continues to assess operational matters and options for milk processing.
