In May this year, incumbent Bord Bia chief executive Aidan Cotter signalled his intention to retire in early 2017. However, the body said it would have a replacement in advance of Cotter’s turn-out to pasture in order to ensure a smooth transition. Makes sense.
Well, as I gather it, there are now three names on the shortlist for one of the most high-profile jobs in the Irish food and agriculture sector.
Similar to the new IFA boss I reported on in this week’s Irish Farmers Journal, none of the candidates are broadcasting the fact that they are in the mix. Nobody wants to scupper their chances – and right they are.

It is something like the old board game Guess Who.
Two of the three candidates may or may not be women. One of the shortlisted may or may not be an internal candidate. At least one of them may or may not be head of another State board.
All three may or may not be big hitters in the food sector, known to many in the area.
One thing is for sure: none of them has a moustache.
