The Eastern Health Board which operates the free milk scheme in the Dublin area is satisfied that there has been no failure on the part of the contractors to make supplies available; neither has the scheme broken down.
Following the award of the contract to Drogheda and Dundalk Dairies with effect from 1 July 1986, there were some initial problems with the scheme. However these have now been resolved and the scheme is operating normally.
