Question 202: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not been awarded entitlements from the national reserve; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the person in question had to cease milk production because of extreme medical problems which prevented them converting to other farming sectors on which premia were payable for the 12 months of the disposal of the quota; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the 2005 Single Payment Scheme National Reserve under Category C. Category C caters for farmers who sold their milk quota into the Milk Quota Restructuring Scheme and converted their enterprise to a farming sector for which a direct payment under Livestock Premia and/or Arable Aid Schemes would have been payable during the reference period 2000 to 2002. The person named was initially deemed unsuccessful under this category but in light of information submitted with his appeal this case will now be fully reviewed and the medical problems encountered by the person named will also be taken into account when considering his appeal. My Department will correspond directly with the person named and notify him of the outcome of the review.
