Ceist:100 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will make a statement on the reports that Ireland's suckler cow quota is to be based on 1991 figures.
Written Answers. - Suckler Cow Quota.
I am aware of the reports referred to by the Deputy. Any proposal to change the reference year for the establishment of individual quotas under the suckler cow premium scheme would be a matter for decision by the Council of Ministers on the basis of a proposal from the Commission. No such proposal has come before the council.
