Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Liquid Milk Market: Discussion with Strathroy Dairy

4:20 pm

Mr. Cormac Cunningham:

We highlighted the name because we feel it contributes to the confusion on labels. I think the committee agrees with that point. We must be careful about what is meant by "national". How broad is it? A farmer in County Donegal, which is part of this nation, cannot carry the National Dairy Council mark even though he has farmed there for his entire lifetime, as did four or five generations of his family before him.
