Eamon Mooney from Castlecomer in County Kilkenny has been elected vice-chairperson of the IFA Dairy Committee.
He was elected at a meeting of the Committee in the Irish Farm Centre, last week.
On the same day Martin McElearney was been elected Chairperson of the IFA Dairy Committee, to succeed Stephen Arthur.
Mr McElearney will begin his term at the 70th annual general meeting, next January.
He’s a dairy farmer from Ballybay in County Monaghan.
Mr McElearney thanked Stephen Arthur for the huge work and effort he put into the role.
“We face many challenges in the dairy sector, particularly the retention of the Nitrates derogation and keeping a strong milk price to cover the high costs of production. The burden of regulation and sustainability falls on the farmer and that is something that has to be rectified,” he said.
“I look forward to working not only with the Dairy Committee, but all in IFA to represent and lobby on behalf of farmers.”
