In March last, I announced details of the 2013 Scheme for the Allocation of Milk Quota to New Entrants to Dairying. The scheme had a closing date of 7th June 2013. Approximately 170 applications were received in my Department before this deadline.
These applications will be subject to a preliminary examination to ensure compliance with the eligibility criteria as set out in the Detailed Rules of the Scheme. All eligible applications will be submitted to the Assessment Panel for examination.
I expect to be in a position to announce the results of the 2013 Scheme in late August.
