'Ahern must honour PPF commitment on quota relief'

Macra na Feirme president Seamus Phelan said the Taoiseach must proceed with the Government's undertaking to introduce tax relief for the purchase of milk quota at today's meeting of the social partners and the Government on the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness.

Mr Phelan said the commitment to introduce the relief was one of the key farming elements of the PPF which was agreed in February 2000.
