Mr. Cormac Cunningham:

In the past 12 months one farmer told me that every four legs on the ground, including the dog, is costing his money. There was no money to be made. That was not because of Strathroy or the imports that the Deputy spoke about. He asked if we have suppliers in every county. Not directly but we buy milk from Lakeland and Aurivo whose networks stretch away into the South and they supply milk to us. It used to be Connacht Gold. We buy milk from many counties, some directly, some indirectly. At the moment we buy directly from Donegal. There are farmers who have sent in notice and hopefully that milk will be supplied to us on 1 January. That is if they go through with their applications to supply milk.
