The persons named may establish a Milk Production Partnership on the basis that the period remaining on the lease appears to extend beyond the five-year term that a participant in partnership must commit to. If they wish to further explore this option they should contact the Dairy Partnership Registration Office in Teagasc, Moorepark, Fermoy, Co. Cork, for advice.

Legislation facilitating, inter alia, the transfer of quota to limited companies is currently being finalised by my Department, and in this regard the persons named should contact the Milk Quota Section of the Department for further advice.
