66 Mr. Collins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason for the delay in dealing with an application for suckler cow quota made in June 1993, by a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and when a decision will be made with regard to this.

Application forms for suckler cow quota from the national reserve have only been available for the past two weeks. An application form has been issued to the person named. The completed form should be returned to Quota Section, Michael Davitt House, Castlebar, before the closing date of 8 April 1994. Processing of applications will commence shortly, after which the person named will be informed of the outcome of his application.
