Eamonn Ryan s family has been supplying milk to Bandon Co-op for decades. His father remembers taking churns with his father on the back of David Brown to the creamery.
The Co-op was founded in 1903 and today Eamonn is keeping the family allegiance alive and well, joining the Co-op s board in recent weeks. The Co-op had an open day to encourage younger people to get involved and I was interested in learning more, so I said I d go for it and thankfully I got in.
Eamonn is the youngest member of the Board, turning 28 this week, and says the two meetings he s been involved in todate - on Zoom - have been interesting. It s unfortunate the meetings are via video link, but it s really interesting - from setting the milk price to discussing different policies and issues.
