The fallout from the disease outbreak at Tully is expected to dominate today's board meeting of the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF). Key issues to be considered include how the ICBF will fund the compensation package agreed with breeders.
The Irish Farmers Journal reports that there are behind the scenes moves against the chief executive this week, led by disaffected members of the Irish Holstein Friesian Association (IHFA). They have been long time critics of Brian Wickham.
Members of the Pedigree Cattle Breeders Council are due to make a presentation to the ICBF board tomorrow on issues of concern.
Tully difficulties
They had a number of concerns prior to the onset of the Tully difficulties, including the role of the chief executive.
Dr Doreen Corridan was appointed by the board to liaise on these issues and has reportedly made some progress.
Chairman of the ICBF is John O'Sullivan, who is a noted Holstein breeder, is nominated to the ICBF board by the Pedigree Cattle Breeders Council.
