Farmers challenge co-op chiefs

WE wish to alert Dairygold Co-op shareholders to the fact that a number of very important motions and resolutions are to be tabled at the AGM of the society at Cork Racecourse, Mallow, on Tuesday next.

Down for approval are motions on topics including Dairygold's failure to honour commitments given on milk price, store closures, rule changes and a vote of no confidence in the board.

Dairygold cited the submission of a number of motions as their reason for adjourning the original AGM on June 5. They claimed that the venue would be unsuitable for the large attendance expected as a result of interest generated by such motions. Yet they refused to circulate shareholders with a copy of these motions when urged to do so.
