Farmers in Waterford, Kilkenny, Cork and Tipperary are continuing to struggle in the aftermath of ex-Hurricane Ophelia with Glanbia making an urgent appeal for help for its suppliers.

A shortage of generators is resulting in some cows now not having been milked since Monday morning. The co-op is urging anyone with a generator to contact their local Glanbia Ireland representative.
Contact details for these representatives can be found on the Glanbia Connect website or by clicking here.
Glanbia chair and Co Meath farmer Henry Corbally is calling for help for suppliers in the affected areas.
“There is a severe shortage of suitable generators available. I would urge farmers in areas who have not been adversely affected by Storm Ophelia to consider making suitable mobile generators available to dairy farmers in affected regions.”
Corbally praised the efforts of staff and milk hauliers for getting milk collected before and after the ex-hurricane hit.
