Vol. 440 No. 4

Written Answers. - Sheep Quota.

Frank Crowley

Question:

260 Mr. Crowley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he has received an application from a person (details supplied) in County Cork for an increase in the ewe premium quota from the national reserve; if so, when a decision will be made.

The person named is not the registered owner of the herd-number quoted. The person who is the registered owner applied for an allocation of ewe premium quota from the national reserve under the category which provides for reserve quota to be allocated to producers who were paid premium on a lower number of ewes than normal in 1991 because of exceptional circumstances. However the person named was paid premium for a higher number of ewes in 1991 than the average number of ewes she received payment for in the years 1988, 1989, 1990 and therefore does not qualify for an allocation of reserve quota.
