Ceist:321 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will approve an application under the 1997 suckler cow quota reserve for a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [12554/97]
Written Answers. - Suckler Cow Quota.
One of the conditions applying to the distribution of quota from the 1997 national reserve is that the gross income of the applicant, including that of the spouse-partner, must not exceed £16,472. The gross income is taken as the total income from all sources before any deductions are made.
Accounts submitted by the person named show that her husband's gross income was £34,710.
As this exceeds the permitted limit, the person named does not qualify for an allocation of quota from this reserve.
