71 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the number of quota holders under 20,000 gallons (a) outside the disadvantaged areas and (b) within the disadvantaged areas.
The quota system in Ireland is operated on a purchaser — i.e. co-operative or dairy — basis. Details of quotas of individual producers are not held by my Department. I can state, however, that there are approximately 32,000 milk producers with quotas under 20,000 gallons.
