Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Liquid Milk Market: Discussion with Strathroy Dairy
4:30 pm
Mr. Cormac Cunningham:
It is not an uneven playing field. As Deputy Deering stated, there is a good deal of investment going on down here and much of that has been financed by the Government. There is also a good deal of investment by us as well. I invite anyone in the committee to come to see the investment we have made in our plant. The extra investment and expansion we have made over the years guarantees for our customers the quality and origin of the milk we are processing.
The other question was about herd size. Was the question about the herd size of the farmers supplying us or the herd size on average in the North?
