Question:130 Mr. Cowen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when he will approve the criteria for the distribution of the suckler cow quota reserve; and when he will allocate this reserve. [4847/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 125 and 130 together. I announced the criteria for the distribution of the suckler cow reserve quota on 1 March. The deadline for the submission of applications for an allocation from the reserve is 31 March 1995. Allocation of reserve quotas to successful applicants will begin immediately application forms are received and processed. Every effort will be made to allocate quotas in the shortest possible time.
