asked the Minister for Agriculture when a calf to beef subsidy will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.
It is a condition of the calf to beef scheme that the calves purchased must be retained on the farm for at least two years after an applicant is accepted into the scheme. The applicant in question did not observe this requirement and, accordingly, does not qualify for an interest subsidy under the scheme.
