The Board of Management at Kilkenny Mart plays a pivotal role in guiding our cooperative’s strategic direction and ensuring sustainable operations for the benefit of our farmer members and local community.
Our Governance Structure
Kilkenny Mart’s Board comprises dedicated directors with deep roots in Kilkenny’s agricultural sector, elected to uphold co-operative principles and drive long-term growth. They oversee key decisions on livestock sales, facility enhancements at Cillin Hill, and farmer support services.
Commitment to Transparency
