Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious problem in which many dairy farmers find themselves with either quota for sale or wishing to buy quota while the Minister's new structures are blocking them from their legal right of free sale. It is urgent for many farmers who have their herds prepared for sale and have no clear indication of their future regarding the sale of their milk quota. It is equally frustrating for young farmers who, through ministerial technicalities, are refused the right to buy.
