Zoë’s legacy

She is set to join Repak, the packaging-recycling promotion group. Repak’s gain is certainly the NDC’s loss. Zoë has always brought deep knowledge, huge enthusiasm, and a clear voice to promoting the merits of Irish dairy. During her tenure at NDC, she has managed to access increased funding both in Ireland and from Europe to advocate on behalf of the Irish milk sector. Other Irish agri-sector advocacy organisations such as Agri Aware must reflect somewhat enviously on the ability of the NDC to fund a wide range of promotional endeavours from its ample funding stream. That is certainly not a criticism, but rather a statement of praise for Zoë Kavanagh’s success in her NDC role. It is fortuitous that someone of the calibre of Mark Keller joined the NDC in recent months and is taking up the CEO role on an interim basis.
