Co-op says it has ‘a duty to protect the reputation of its employees and members’
Eoin Bourke, Niall Twomey, Tadgh McSweeney, Ned O’Keeffe and Nigel Sweetnam, committee members of the Concerned Dairygold Shareholders WhatsApp group, received legal letters
Dairygold has defended its move to issue legal letters to concerned suppliers, hitting out at “personalised and derogatory” online comments targeting individuals and the society.
In a statement, the co-op said it has a duty to protect the reputation of its employees and members, and that the legal action was aimed at removing the remarks and preventing further posts.
