Power-sharing was
inevitable since 72
UNIONISTS were too slow to
accept that power-sharing was
inevitable when the majority
rule Stormont Parliament fell in
1972, Peter Robinson last night
admitted.
The DUP leader, who since the
partys formation in 1971 played
a key role in opposing power-
sharing with nationalists, said
that unionists were too slow to
accept or appreciate that there
was no way to avoid shared gov-
ernment.
However, the First Minister
also argued that the SDLP had
also set the bar too high to
achieve power-sharing in the
1970s and that such a compro-
mise would have been all but
impossible while IRA violence
continued.
In the landmark speech in
Dublin, at an Organisation for
Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) conference, Mr
Robinson also described Deputy
First Minister Martin McGuin-
ness who was looking on as
being committed to ensuring
peace.
However, Mr Robinsons speech
to the major Dublin conference
celebrating Northern Irelands
peace process was denounced by
the DUP leaders former party
colleague Jim Allister as a vast
U-turn.
Mr Robinson told the confer-
ence: In Northern Ireland un-
ionists were slow to accept or
appreciate that after the fall of
the majority rule parliament at
Stormont in 1972, some form of
power-sharing was inevitable.
And when they did, constitu-
tional nationalists set the bar too
high to achieve it. Turn to page 6

Milk prospects good
despite price tumble
UNITED Dairy Farmers Group
chief executive David Dobbin has
said that despite this weeks milk
price fall, the long term prospects
are good. However the end of
quotas in March 2015 is going to
cause considerable disruption to
markets.
Strong growth in New Zealand
and US milk output has led to
surpluses of powder and butter.
The Republic of Ireland is also
gearing up to produce signifcantly
more milk, even before the end
of quotas: additional heifers are
already on the ground, said Mr
Dobbin.
We are entering this years
peak with New Zealand powder
and butter still in the market at
very low prices. Distressed milk is
also coming into Northern Ireland
from GB and the ROI due to their
lack of processing capacity.
Uniteds CEO believes the key
issue for local farmers is whether
they have a secure home for their
milk.
More processing capacity is
needed. Worryingly it seems that
Dale Farm is the only NI based
processor undertaking major
investment in additional capacity.
Uniteds priority is to ensure a
secure home for its members milk.
We are well through a major 39
million investment programme
to expand our capacity and are
developing market outlets for our
additional output.
After a period of relative
stability in dairy markets, volatility
has returned and looks likely to
continue. United has a wide basket
of product outlets, in cheese, whey
protein and milk powders, liquid
milk, butter and dairy spreads
which lowers our exposure to any
