asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will arrange to have a milk quota made available to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny where all relevant information has been forwarded to his Department since January 1989.
Under the terms of the relevant regulations, the allocation of a Mulder quota can only be made in the case of a transfer of a holding, if the transfer took place before the expiry of the non-marketing period and if an undertaking, completed by the transferee, that he will carry out the conditions laid down in the scheme, was furnished to the Department at the time. In this case those conditions were not observed and consequently the person named is not eligible to be allocated a quota.
