I have been informed by the Dairy Disposal Company that, having regard to the relatively small quantity of milk likely to be available, it would not be practicable to provide a new travelling creamery to cover the districts of Cromane, Caragh Lake and Glencutane. The only solution would seem to be for the farmers concerned to arrange amongst themselves for the conveyance of their combined milk supplies to the nearest cream-separating station or travelling creamery stop.
