Successful future
Mr Smith said that, as far as he was concerned, the matters in dispute were now closed and he looked forward to developing a successful future with his new business in the renewable energy sector.
The Meath man added that it had been “a great honour to work for Irish farmers and the agri industry” and he wished farm families and the sector every success for the future.
He also thanked his wife Libby and his extended family and those “personal, farming and business friends across the country whose support was highly valued during a turbulent time”.
