When I announced recently the allocation of milk quota to 70 new entrants to dairying, I indicated that all of the recipients would have to attend training courses facilitated by Teagasc. That body is currently considering the structure and delivery of the required training, bearing in mind that all successful applicants have until 1 April 2011 to commence milk production.
