Leadership on this issue has been given by Minister Coveney and MEP Sean Kelly along with senior members of the farming community as well as Dairygold CEO Jim Woulfe. They were all present for the delivery of the first 10 loads in Dairygold in Mitchelstown this morning. This project is being managed by Nolantransport.com and all concerned were given full view of all cargo both en-route and to be moved on Nolan Transports LIVE customer portal – the sense of urgency of this life saving cargo is real.
