Question:101 Miss Coughlan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a person (details supplied) in County Donegal will be allocated a sheep quota.
Written Answers. - Sheep Quota.
The relevant EC Regulations provide for ewe premium quotas to be based on the number of ewes on which a producer was paid the premium in 1991 provided that the producer also applied for the premium in 1992.
The person named meets both of these conditions and has been granted a quota of 14 full premium rights. He has submitted an application for additional quota from the national reserve which has been established for allocation to certain categories of producers. The application is being processed at present.
He will be informed of the outcome in three to four weeks.
