I know this is going to seem like a really inopportune moment to mention this, but with the temperatures that we have been experiencing, it might be time to talk about warmer homes.

Because the work that you do now, regardless of how hot it is outside, is going to stand to you in winter.

So tomorrow, the SEAI, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, will join us.

Kerry Gold Butter is one of Ireland's biggest food success stories, particularly in the United States, where it is the second most bought brand.
voice-verified
2.5 million blocks of butter a week, a billion euro of sales a year, supplied from the Mitchelstown Creamery in Cork.
voice-verified
But now the Kilkenny-based creamery Tierlon has signalled it wants to break the Kerrygold monopoly on grass-fed Irish butter by entering into a deal to supply US retailer Costco.
voice-verified
And there are concerns across the dairy industry that this could weaken the Kerrygold brand and result in a price war, reducing the price received ultimately by Irish dairy farmers.
voice-verified
Pat O'Toole is the political editor with the Irish Farmers Journal.
voice-verified
He joins us now.
voice-verified
Pat, just tell us, how big a deal is Kerrygold in America first, please?
voice-verified
Now, consumer demand for grass fed butter, Irish grass fed butter in particular, would appear to be growing.
voice-verified
So Tier Lawn have not unreasonably said to themselves, we'd like a little bit of that action as well.
voice-verified
And now, to further confuse things, Tierlawn is actually supplying Oranua to make Kerrygold as it is, but presumably this deal is attractive to them because of the volumes of butter that they would be selling to Costco.
voice-verified
It would not be unreasonable in this context then for Irish farmers, farm organisations and the other co-ops to say to themselves, well, if Tierlawn are undercutting us by $6 on the price premium here, that it will only be a matter of time before US retailers turn to Ornu and say, what are you going to do for us on the price of Kerry Gold?
voice-verified
Because your competitors are selling it a lot cheaper.
voice-verified
I asked Tearlawn to provide a spokesperson for the programme today.
voice-verified
They declined to do so, but they did just send a statement a few minutes ago.
