Vol. 470 No. 2

Written Answers. - Milk Quota.

Patrick J. Morley

Ceist:

156 Mr. Morley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the total amount of extra quota granted to farmers in the North Connaught Farmers Co-Operative Society Limited catchment area; and the total number of farmers who benefited in the categories of less that 10,000 gallons, 10,000 to 20,000 gallons, 20,000 to 30,000 gallons and above 30,000 gallons. [18687/96]

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)

I assume the Deputy is referring to quota granted on the recommendation of the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. Since these allocations are made following examination of individual producer cases, it is not appropriate for my Department to publish details broken down on a milk purchaser basis.
