Speaking at the opening, An Taoiseach commented on the timely opening of the new mill given that two extreme weather events this year have increased demand for feed.

It was a sentiment echoed by Drinagh Co-op CEO Joe O’Sullivan, who said that current drought conditions had increased demand for feed, and the new mill would allow the co-op to double capacity.

“This investment will stand us in good stead for many years to come,” O’Sullivan said.
