According to reports in the Farming Independent, the Irish dairy industry is also preparing to persuade top government ministers in a bid to secure the Environment Commissioner portfolio in the upcoming reshuffle of the European Commission.
It'll all depend on current Finance Minister Micheal McGraths interest in the role though, following Fianna Fáil's strong election performance.
