We can’t be bought off, says dairy boss

FARM income is the issue to be addressed by the Government, the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association warned yesterday as it began a five-day protest in Dublin.

The protest will continue outside Government Buildings until Friday with farmers from all over country taking part.

ICMSA president Pat O’Rourke said the confusion generated by Agriculture Minister Joe Walsh on the matter last week proved a commission on farm income was required.
