Rumours surrounding the future of struggling Tipperary Co-op have intensified in recent days.

The Irish Farmers Journal reports there is mounting speculation around a tie-up with neighbouring co-op, Arrabawn.

It’s understood that the matter is up for discussion at a special meeting of Arrabawn’s board today.

Any substantial deal would have to be put to shareholders in both coops for approval.

Arrabawn has been paying suppliers one of the highest prices for milk in the country this year, while Tipperary has been rooted to the bottom of the milk league in recent months.
