Chairman
National Liquid Milk Committee

 

 Padraig Mulligan is a dairy farmer contracted to supply liquid milk to Connacht Gold Co-Op. He farms with his wife Mary and his son Padraig Óg in Templeboy, Co Sligo.  Padraig's top priority is to secure a fairer share out of retail returns so that farmers are equitably remunerated for their labour and their management input as well as their costs of production.

Padraig also wants to see a less fragmented and more co-ordinated and efficient liquid milk processing  industry, better able to compete against imported milk while returning a fair and viable price to producers.  He has a strong track record of representing liquid milk producers on the National Liquid Milk Committee and on the National Milk Agency and at local level on the Connacht Gold Liquid Milk Producers' negotiation team for a number of years, and is clearly committed to helping secure his fellow-farmers' livelihoods.
