Four young farmers have been presented with John Feely scholarships and €1,500 by the Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) in Limerick today.
The four 2019 winners were Sean Fitzpatrick, Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny, Conor Michael O’Sullivan, Donoghmore, Co Cork, Mairead Brosnan, Lixnaw, Co Kerry, and Mark McCoy, Smithborough, Co Monaghan.
ICMSA president Pat McCormack said the standard of the applicants overall was very encouraging and that of the four individuals concerned were outstanding.

“The standard we’re seeing in the young dairy farmers coming through bodes well for the sector: they’re technically very strong and environmentally aware, they’re also committed to building on the standards already achieved.
“The ICMSA is delighted to be associated with the John Feely scholarship programme and we’ll be getting out the details for the 2020 awards programme in due course,” said McCormack.
