Vol. 525 No. 2
304 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will consider the representations made in respect of the suckler quota under the 2001 national reserve scheme for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo who gave up his full-time job in order to enter farming and who is in need of qualification for the scheme. [23978/00]
The person named applied for an allocation of suckler cow quota from the year 2001 national reserve. He applied under category D which was reserved for farmers who did not qualify under the priority categories A, B or C because they did not satisfy the age, income, educational qualifications or livestock unit criteria required under those categories. Applicants under category D would only receive allocations if any quota remained after allocations were made to eligible applicants under categories A, B or C.
