Fixed-Price Milk Contracts: Irish Co-operative Organisation Society
Mr. John O'Gorman:
Yes we certainly have. We have engaged heavily. As a co-operative we hold the contract between the farmer and the processor. Equally, we hold the contract between the processor, the co-operative and our customer. We have engaged substantially and heavily with that customer to try to get some movement but as the Deputy said in his opening remarks, contracts cannot be changed unilaterally and it needs positive engagement from all sides.
