Dairygold shareholders have endorsed the co-op’s post-2015 €150m expansion plan, following two back-to-back meetings yesterday at its premises in Mallow, Co Cork.

Anything up to 9,000 members of Dairygold are expected to visit the Powder Store on the co-op’s premises at Mallow, Co Cork, for this morning’s two meetings.

The ICMSA and Macra na Feirme are urging Dairygold members to attend the joint AGM and SGM on Thursday, and to support the co-op’s investment plans.
