The Milk Quota Trading Scheme is the principal mechanism for the acquisition of additional milk quota. The Scheme provides for the allocation of quota from a priority pool to selected categories, including milk production partnerships registered with Teagasc

An official of my Department has been in contact with the named person and, having ascertained that he is not in a registered milk production partnership, is advising him of his options.
