Milk reallocation ceiling

Summary

McCoy criticises the 10,000-gallon ceiling on milk reallocation; O’Kennedy says opinions differ and suggests he discuss the issue with Doyle.

In view of the fact that it is far more profitable to have suckler cows in disadvantaged areas, will the Minister agree that we should concentrate suckler cow production in those areas? Will the Minister agree that in regard to milk reallocation it was a retrograde step to keep the ceiling as low as 10,000 gallons?

Comment on this

That is a separate question. There are different opinions on that. I suggest that the Deputy discuss the matter with Deputy Doyle.
