Fixed-Price Milk Contracts: Irish Co-operative Organisation Society

Mr. John O'Gorman:

Every individual co-operative would know which member or milk supplier is exposed and to what degree. There should be correspondence where there is a feeling that supplier X could have an issue and it would be no harm to send correspondence. If we send correspondence, there should be a solution to the problem, or something should be done to work through it. The only thing any co-operative can do from this perspective is to offer extended credit or interest-free credit over a period. The integrity of the contract cannot be interfered with, unfortunately.
