Allocations of milk quota from the National Reserve in respect of Hardship cases are granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The closing date for receipt of applications in respect of the current 2008/2009 milk quota year was Friday 27th June.
My Department is currently processing these applications, and the Tribunal has also commenced consideration of the applications on a first come first served basis. All applications will be acknowledged, and each applicant and their Co-Operative will be notified regarding the outcome of the application when it has been considered.
