Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Dairy Industry: Irish Farmers Association (6 Oct 2015)

Pat Deering: We could discuss this all day. We are heading into a very dodgy area with liquid milk. I do not have to tell the witnesses this. It is not a very profitable business.
