Milk price rip-off allegations not true, says dairy suppliers' group

ALLEGATIONS that consumers are being ripped off on milk prices are groundless, according to the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association.

President Pat O'Rourke said the claim by RTÉ was spurious and that the facts show a totally different situation.

Figures published by Forfás in its Comparative Consumer Price in the Eurozone report, clearly show that the retail price of milk is on a par with the European average.
