Ceist:219 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when extra milk quota will be made available to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick. [6893/03]
Written Answers - Milk Quota.
The allocation of the balance of the Agenda 2000 milk quota to certain categories of small and medium scale milk producers has been completed and applicants have been notified of the outcome in their own cases. The person named submitted an application in relation to this quota, but, as this application was not received in my Department before the closing date, it was not considered for an allocation under this scheme.
An appeals procedure exists in relation to this scheme and it has been decided that late applications will be considered as part of the appeals process. When the appeals process is completed the person named will be notified of the outcome.

Ceist:220 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when additional quota will be given to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick from the scheme for the allocation of 432.2 litres to milk producers who satisfy the criteria set out under in Notice No. 94/15. [6894/03]
The person named applied for additional milk quota under the recent scheme for the allocation of 32 million litres of milk quota to committed small and medium scale milk producers who satisfied certain criteria as set out in Public Notice No. 94/15. The applicant was successful in meeting the qualifying conditions under the farm modernisation scheme category and an allocation was made to him.
An appeals procedure exists in relation to this scheme whereby applicants who did not qualify under the conditions of the scheme or who feel that the allocation made in their particular case was incorrect, may appeal the decision to the milk quota appeals tribunal. The closing date for receipt of such appeals was 10 January last. There is no record of the person named having submitted an appeal before the above closing date.
