Milk Quota. (8 Mar 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Question 4: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food her views on whether the milk quota exchange system is not providing a fair opportunity for farmers to either buy or sell; her further views on the fact that in small co-operatives or dairies no milk has changed hands and in some of the larger dairies only a small percentage has transferred; and her plans to restructure the system and...

Milk Quota. (8 Mar 2007)

Seymour Crawford: That should apply to both sides of the House. Last week, in reply to a parliamentary question I tabled, the Minister outlined the amount of milk quota that had changed hands over the past six years. In 2006 the amount traded fell by 15 million from 177 million litres compared with 2005. There were great expectations that the new quota system would have a dramatic effect last year but...

Seymour Crawford: The Chair is holding everything back. The bottom line is the scheme has changed the system dramatically. The Minister stated the differential ranges between 11 cent and 24 cent. Will she guarantee that milk quota will continue to be treated as it is currently? Does she agree there will be legal difficulties because one farmer will be paid 24 cent a litre, depending on where he lives, and...

So far they have not been able to do so. Will the Minister sort it out once and for all so a farmer has a right to sell and buy? In my case, a small co-op has sellers and buyers and with common sense it could be sorted. A...

Milk Quota. (8 Mar 2007)

Seymour Crawford: Will the Minister ensure these situations can be addressed? I do not disagree with the Minister's wish to retain ring fencing, but I am worried it will not be possible in a legal situation. A long number of years have passed since a major quota left the north of the Minister's county of Donegal and went to the very south under a technicality. I am sure people are dreaming of technicalities...

Road Network. (7 Mar 2007)

Seymour Crawford: I appreciate this opportunity to raise an important issue. I am sure the Ceann Comhairle remembers the extraordinary condition of the roads in the Cavan-Monaghan area in the early and mid-1990s. It was impossible to travel on many of the roads in the region at that time. The first major increase in the area's road grant was sanctioned in 1995. While the amount of money that was allocated...
