Ceist:253 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry whether ewe quota has been allocated to a person (details supplied) in County Galway from the national reserve.
Written Answers. - Ewe Quota.
The person named applied for an allocation of ewe premium quota from the national reserve under the category which provides for reserve quota to be allocated to producers who were paid ewe premium in 1991 but did not apply in 1992 due to exceptional circumstances. The person named applied for ewe premium for the first time in 1993 and does not therefore qualify for reserve quota under this category. He does not qualify either under the category which provides for quota to be allocated to first time applicants in 1993 because he is over 35 years of age.
