Abstract
This chapter describes the origins and spread of the creamery system
in Ireland between 1884 and 1920 and analyses the differing spatial
patterns exhibited by the private and co-operative creamery sectors.
The analysis supports the contention that Irish dairy farmers were
only inclined to establish co-operative creameries where a private
alternative was not available. Various indicators are employed to
demonstrate the reluctance of Irish dairy farmers to co-operate and
the reasons for this.
