Doyle’s board seat was among those up for renewal in a series of co-op elections held this month. The Irish Farmers Journal understands that he has lost his seat to a new farmer representative named Tom Murphy.
Doyle’s departure means that the reshaped board needs to choose a new chair for the co-op, with this decision scheduled to take place next month.

Doyle led the co-op delegation formed earlier this year to negotiate with Kerry Group plc, which collects and processes the members’ milk. The co-op and the plc disagreed on the 13th payment to be paid to Kerry suppliers to fulfil the promise of achieving the country’s leading milk price in 2015, and what this commitment should cover.
Mediation efforts failed to deliver an agreement last June and the dispute went to arbitration.
The independent arbitrators retained to solve the dispute have yet to issue their decision.
Last May, Stan McCarthy, who held the position of chief executive in both Kerry co-op and Kerry Group plc, stepped down from his co-op role and remained at the head of the plc.
