I understand Mr. Cormac Cunningham is an active farmer, while Mr. Ruairí Cunningham seems to be less active. Can they tell us what margins the supermarkets are taking from both suppliers and manufacturers? That information would be very useful to the committee.
Their claim that farmers, even in Cork, are prepared to hire a tanker to bring the milk to the North is interesting. Is this milk that would be over quota in the Republic?
