Celebrating International Women’s day at Tirlán

We celebrated International Women’s Day 2024, the invaluable contributions of women in agriculture, in our facilities and the vital role of female farmers in the Irish economy and society.

We also took part in events highlighting this year’s theme: “Inspire Inclusion”.

• Anna Daly, Member Relations Manager, joined the National Dairy Council for their podcast discussion on women in agriculture and farming, in particular women under 30 who are making strides in what is a traditionally male-dominated sector.🎙️ http://bit.ly/IWDpodcast2024
