The Dairy Disposal Company is examining the question of the reorganisation of the creamery facilities in the Ardfert area. While the Company has not taken a final decision in the matter I am informed that a decision to close any of the cream-separating stations in the area would be taken only after full consideration of the interests of the suppliers and in the light of the alternative facilities which could be provided for them.
