Tirlán Co‑op notes intention of John G. Murphy to retire from Board
Tirlán Co‑operative Society Limited (“Tirlán Co‑op”) has confirmed that John G. Murphy has announced his intention to retire from the Board of the Co‑operative.
John has made a significant contribution to Tirlán over many years, serving on the Co-op Board since 2010 and as Chairperson from October 2020 to May 2026. He has also served as a Director on the Glanbia plc Board since June 2010. During his tenure, he provided strong leadership through a period of substantial transformation for the organisation, including the successful completion of the Co‑op’s strategic evolution and the return to full ownership by farmer members.
Chairperson Gerard O’Brien said: “On behalf of Tirlán Co-op, I would like to thank the outgoing Board Member John G. Murphy for his leadership and dedication to his role especially as Chairperson for the five and a half years. He presided over a period of transformational change for the organisation, culminating in farmers returning to full ownership of the Irish business and very significant value distribution to our Co-op’s Members. He can be extremely proud of his contribution as a Board Member and as a Chairperson of the Tirlán Board.”
A process will now commence in line with Tirlán Co-op Rules and election procedures to appoint a Board Director to represent the North Wexford/East Wicklow region.
Tirlán Co‑op will keep Members informed of developments as this process progresses.
