The co-op board, consisting of 14 farmers from Glanbia's regional structures and CEO Siobhan Talbot, selected Corbally to succeed Liam Herlihy.
He emerged from a very close contest with fellow vice-chair Martin Keane of Co Laois. Corbally will now lead Ireland's biggest co-op with assets in Glanbia worth almost €2bn. In addition, he will assume the position of chair of the $5bn Glanbia plc; probably the last co-op nominee to do so.

Pat Murphy from Co Kilkenny was elected to replace Corbally as vice-chair.
Meath dairy farmer Henry Corbally has been elected as the new Glanbia co-op chairman, and thus chairman of the €5bn Plc too
