A statement from Glanbia Co-operative Society said that the co-op has made very significant support payments to members this year: March (1c/L); April (2c/L); May (3c/L); June (1c/L), July (1.5c/L), August (1c/L), September (1c/L) and October (1c/L).

Lakeland Dairies has held its milk price for November at 26.25c/L.

It was the first co-op to set its milk price for November. This is the third consecutive month that Lakeland Dairies has held its milk price.

The Board of Lakeland Dairies recently decided to open the share register for two months from December 1, 2015 to January 31, 2015.

It says this will give Lakeland milk suppliers who are not shareholders an opportunity to become shareholders of the co-operative.

Also, it says existing milk supplier shareholders will have an opportunity to share up to the required formula if they so wish.
