It’s that time of the year again when the nation’s boards take flight, to spread their wings, open their horizons and learn new things which will ultimate benefit us all.
The Dealer hears that the board of Lakeland Dairies is back from a fact-finding trip to Texas.
All 42 members of the board of Centenary Thurles Co-op were sent on a trip to the Sommet de l’Élevage show in France in early October.
While they all returned to Ireland, only some will make it back on the board as numbers there have been reduced to 19.
The board of Lisavaird Co-op is back from a trip to see Ornua in Germany, while the Ornua board itself was out in the US back in September.
The Tirlán council has also been on its travels, taking in a trip to see some German co-ops in recent weeks. Meanwhile, The Dealer sees that Bord Bia brought a contingent of big beef and sheep farmers from Wicklow to the SIAL show in Paris recently. I wonder what board they are on?
