ICOS Dairy Committee
The ICOS Dairy Committee is made up of elected representatives from Ireland’s dairy processing and milk purchasing co-operatives. The Committee has a mandate to represent and formulate policy for the Irish dairy co-operative sector.
Its current programme is focused on the policy challenges facing the dairy industry in Ireland with respect to the environment, price volatility, inflation, labour on dairy farms, calf welfare, animal health and dairy-beef integration.
