104 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will grant additional suckler cow quota from the national reserve to a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [6185/98]
The person named has applied for an allocation of suckler cow quota from the 1998 national reserve.
I have accepted the recommendations of the quota review group which gave priority for the allocation of quota from this reserve to eligible applicants with low livestock units.
It is estimated that all the available quota will be utilised by eligible applicants with less than ten livestock units.
As the person named already has 19 livestock units, he will not receive an allocation of quota from this reserve.
