There might have been some bad news for dairy farmers this week as Teagasc figures confirmed that their incomes had dropped by a third last year. However, farmers didn't let the news dampen their spirits and lent their full support to #WorldMilkDay.

Including rugby international Rob Kearney.
To mark #WorldMilkDay we teamed up with Brand Ambassador @KearneyRob for our ‘Everything Starts With Milk’ event. We were inspired as he explained how milk was a big part of his diet growing up & how he dreamed of playing for Ireland. Here’s how he made a difference.#EnjoyDairy pic.twitter.com/JnStwNVUoa
