Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan)

Allocations of milk quota from the national reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the milk quota appeals ribunal. The tribunal examines and makes recommendations on applications for additional quota from individual producers.

The person named applied to the tribunal in the 2005-06 quota year and the tribunal examined his application last January. It recommended an allocation of additional quota on that occasion, and the person and his co-op were notified of this outcome in early February.
