John Perry

Question:

187 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if a person with stock (details supplied) is entitled to the early farm retirement pension; the amount of pension entitlements that will be paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16493/03]

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

It is not possible to indicate based on the information provided whether the person referred to would qualify for the early retirement scheme. That could be determined only on examination of a completed application with the necessary supporting documentation.
