    Such a shame as it had everything going for it 50 years ago.
    How did the committee let this happen. Did they not question the manager's
    decisions over the last half century. Who is answerable for the decline?

    There seems to be a lot of people working in the office there as well more than in the yard

    no other work sector would take a drop like that in their wages.. maybe management could take a cut in their pay as it is the farmers after all that are keeping them there...

    I've been following the discussion on Newtownsandes,the thing I can't figure out is what are the board of management doing? You have a business that appears to be in decline,an elderly management team with little desire to drive the business forward and the whole thing is being facilitated by an indifferent board! A recipe for trouble!

    I heard that all decisions are made by the manager of 50 years running the co op and he is supposed to have retired 3 years ago and is about 80now and is still telling the supposed manager and assistant manager what to do
    He couldn't have any new ideas on how to grow the business
    There's no future in that

    I hope your wrong Kerry Bull 'cause any company board I've ever dealt with the buck finally comes to rest with board. Pleading ignorance won't protect you from company law if there's any misappropriation

    Liam your wrong this is a very serious problem. Nobody wants to see any business close and if the committee are nodding dogs to the old management newtownsands co-op will be another business closed in the area

    liam7831 & odelay you obviously don't know what is going on in moyvane as the management of the co-op is causing a big split in the parish. there is more than one person involved in this discussion as there is 75% of the milk suppliers asking for this retired man to leave the premises. he retired three years ago and isn't on the payroll but still rules the roost

    I don't underestimate the size of the problem and the repercussions of the business closing, i hope it can be sorted out. Just dont see it looks like half the parish opening up new accounts on Boards will help the situation

    liam7831 after the agm two farmers were selected to go to the chairman of the co-op asking him to invite ICOS to mediate between the farmers and the management. ICOS are willing to come and help as they were at the agm and witnessed the agro for themselves. trouble is they would prefer to be invited and the co-op don't want them down as the board knows that will upset the way things have been running for the last half century. the board are choosing to ignore this group of agitated farmers and that is what has led to this discussion on boards.ie.
    have to get heard somehow when the board won't talk . three times the chairman was approached since the agm and zero result.
    this co-op will be gone in three years if something isn't done now.

    to contact the journal might be the only answer as the creamery board will have to sit up and take notice then. it would make a great story about this 80 year old man who refuses to leave the building even though he is retired for the past three years and no longer on the payroll. still occupies his same office and the present gm sharing a desk with a few more!
