Allocations of milk quota from the National Reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The Tribunal examines and makes recommendations on applications for additional quota from individual producers.

The named person submitted an appeal against the original recommendations of the Tribunal for the allocation of 40,000 litres of temporary quota, on foot of an application under the animal disease category. This appeal was heard at a meeting on 22nd May 2008 at which the Tribunal recommended an additional allocation of 19,950 litres from the National Reserve. Notification has been issued to the named person and his Co-Operative.
