Brexit and the stand-off between Glanbia and Ornua will be key themes at the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association’s (ICMSA’s) annual general meeting (AGM) next week.

The AGM will take place on Friday, November 30, in the South Court Hotel, Limerick, kicking off at 10:30am.

Both European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Phil Hogan and Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Michael Creed will address attendees as speakers on the day.

The attendance of the CEO of Ornua is also expected to cause waves, following on from the current show-down between the Irish dairy exporter and its largest shareholder, Glanbia, in recent weeks.

Questions are expected to be asked about the continued tenability of Glanbia’s directors on the board of Ornua – which the company is now in direct competition since it launched its Truly Grass Fed range in the US.

The AGM will take place for the full day, from 10:30am until evening.

All members are invited and eligible to attend, according to the ICMSA. However, space is limited so booking is essential. Bookings can be confirmed by emailing: [email protected].
