Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dairy Sector: Irish Dairy Board

Mr. Aaron Forde:

To some degree, yes.

Deputy Deering also asked a question on liquid milk. The IDB is not involved in any way, shape or form in liquid milk and, given the state of liquid milk in Ireland, we will not be getting involved. I have some knowledge of it from Aurivo. It has been a difficult market for a number of years and continues to be. There is perhaps an issue on the distribution margin through the supply chain.
