Donegal dairy farmer settles payment dispute with co-op
Following mediation, a Donegal dairy farmer recently settled a dispute over alleged breach of contract and payment issues with his cooperative.
Ronald Russell, of Cavan Upper, Killygordon, Lifford Post Office, Co. Donegal, settled by way of mediation a dispute with his co-op Aurivo Cooperative Society on Friday, October 23.
The settlement was for what is believed to be a “significant” sum from Aurivo Co-operative Society Limited, payable to Russell, relating to a dispute which has been ongoing since 2015.
This, Russell claimed in the case, was for a series of milk payments which were only part paid to him and his associated entities for milk provided by him for milk collections at his farm at Killygordon, Lifford, during the months of October, 2015, to March, 2016.
