The Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food, Tony Killeen TD, has announced that based on estimated milk deliveries as submitted by milk purchasers for the period up to 31st August 2009, Ireland is 9.00% under quota when account is taken of the butterfat content of milk deliveries during the same period.The milk super-levy and milk quotas were introduced in 1984 marking the first major changes to the CAP since Ireland's entry to the EEC. Sheep and sucker cow numbers increased as a result.
Ireland’s milk quota position is published on the Department’s website Under ‘Publications’, followed by the relevant year.
