Mike Magan launched an appeal for dairy farmers to donate money to the Irish Red Cross for communities in war- and famine-afflicted Yemen.
ICOS has transferred €190,000 to the Irish Red Cross following an appeal from Longford dairy farmer Mike Magan which saw dairy farmers donate to a fund to aid the people of Yemen.
The results of that grassroots campaign were realised on Friday as the leaders of co-operatives from all over Ireland joined ICOS president Jerry Long and Mike Magan in an online ceremony to transfer €190,000 to the Irish Red Cross, represented by Frank Phelan.
Magan supplies milk to Lakeland Dairies and the farmer-owned co-operative strongly backed his initiative.
