Dairy Geyser Ltd

Dairy Geyser was founded in 2017 by Martin Deady and Syl Lyster in response to an impending major need in the Irish dairy industry. The biggest challenge facing the dairy industry and its €4 billion export market was the presence of chlorine residues in finished dairy products. This was due to an over reliance on chlorine in the dairy hygiene cleaning process. Chlorine is partially banned currently and will be fully banned by the end of 2020. The only alternative effective sterilant is hot water, in large quantities, at high temperature. Legacy heating systems are electrical and are now not fit for purpose. It now requires instant, continual water heating, such as provided by Dairy Geyser, to complete sterilisation. Following exhaustive innovation, we launched in 2017, winning the overall Dairy Innovation Product of the year. Innovation continued in 2018 to win overall Engineering Product of the year at the National Ploughing. This machine is partly manufactured and fully assembled in Ireland. It is stocked in up to 50 branches of all major Co-op’s.

Irish Farmers Association

The Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) is a national organisation to represent the interests of all sectors of farming in the Republic of Ireland. It was founded in January 1955 as the National Farmers Association (NFA), aiming to lead Irish farmers out of the depression and deprivation which had dominated rural Ireland for decades. The NFA merged in the 1960s with four smaller organisations representing specific sectors (including beet growers, horticulture, and fresh milk producers) to form the Irish Farmers Association – the IFA. In the 1972 referendum on Irish membership of the European Economic Community, the IFA campaigned for a "yes" vote, seeking access to European markets and higher prices for agricultural produce. The IFA's head office is at the Irish Farm Centre, in Bluebell, Dublin. It also maintains 12 regional offices and an office in Brussels. It is considered one of the most powerful lobby groups in Irish politics.
