no idea mate
Danone had the most annoying adverts on the telly there for a while.
Mmmm Danone. Are they gone to the wall?
The day job is still busy thankfullyā¦ but the sideline business is dead. The ould fella has the farm under control by and largeā¦ I suddenly find myself with 20-30 waking hours to spare each week. Iām learning some tough lessonsā¦ Being busy papers over alot of stuff and learning to relax and smell the flowersā¦ without drinkā¦ is a skill I am struggling to master but it gets easier each day.
This crisis is will change some lads forever.

Iām currently reevaluateing. The big job, the big car, the big money, the big pressure. Itās all meaningless. Johnny big balls on LinkedIn. It doesnāt matter a fuck.

You canāt take it to the grave with you.
Western society has reached a stage where people are working long hours to pay for shit they donāt need. The corporates (through the likes of LinkedIn) have ambitious fools dancing to their tune day in day out.
Time to tear up the script

No idea. But I was under the impression that it was the primary output from charleville for last few years.
Shit they donāt need like paying 1000ās to share a room with someone they donāt know in a squalor in Dublin or Cork, while simultaneously trying to eat, live and prepare for the future.
Not everyone can live at home with Mam and Dad until they are on their feet.

Id say the export of baby food is probably the key driver in the expansion of the dairy industry here. Any idea what %of milk is used for this?

Iām not sure but the supply chain is very much set down from which farmer they source the milk from, to which Kerry group driver draws the milk and on it goes. I did a plant tour before and the baby product is kept totally seperate and siloed from all the other dairy products.
@anon78624367 Danone are still going but were in a controversy of their own with Aptamil.
I think Ireland is seen as the world leader globally and it is keeping the dairy industry in Ireland afloat. It has taken Dairygold years to break into it.

Thereās a difference between supplying milk for drinking (cartons of Milk) Vs creamery milk for butter, cheese and baby powder. There are greater restrictions on bacteria and cell count with drinking milk compared to the more processed stuff. Iād say the majority of the creamery milk goes to butter and baby powder as they are easily exported.

Baby food and Whey protein will keep dairy going at least. USA, Ireland and NZ are the worldās largest producers of whey protein.
