Philip Donohoe is a past president of The Irish Grassland Association. He took over from Andrew Cromie at the Associations AGM on 16th September 2010.

Philip is married to Michelle and they have two children Katie 12 years and Jack 7 years. Philip is dairy farming near Goresbridge on the Carlow / Kilkenny border, where he milks 75 cows and rears dairy replacement heifers for sale on the 48 Ha family farm. His farming system is very much a simple one which is grass focused and concentrates on maximizing the amount of quality grass grown and eaten while delivering the best and most suitable genetics to harvest this grass.

Speaking after the AGM in 2010 as the then new President, he said he was looking forward to his new role and was excited by the prospect of further expanding and developing the Association, giving a better service to all its members, hosting more topical events locally as well as nationally. Hopefully raising the profile of the Association and making it even more relevant than it is today.
