The named person submitted an application to the Tribunal seeking an allocation of additional quota under the Hardship category. This application was examined on 2nd April 2008 and an allocation of 5,000 litres of additional milk quota was made from the National Reserve. The named person and his Co-op have been notified in this regard.
