ICMSA chief Pat McCormack queried the Green Party’s competence and ability to do sums due to its decision to have “nut juice”, not dairy milk, at a recent event.
Processed "nut juice" from California produced via a system that is turning that state into a desert should not be chosen over local Irish dairy milk, says the ICMSA.

ICMSA chief Pat McCormack said he was “hugely disappointed” to see what he termed as Californian “nut juice” available instead of Irish milk at the recent Green Party conference.
He questioned the party’s competence for favouring soya, coconut, oat and almond juice flown across the world over “milk from an Irish farm five miles out the road”.
Milk wars are now, it seems, being played out in such subtleties at political events, with Fianna’s Fáil’s agri-conference on Saturday having nothing other than cow’s milk for the tea.

A little more bainne and a little less nut juice for me.
