Question:

122 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the number of applicants and the amounts (a) already paid and (b) still to be paid under (i) the calf premium scheme, (ii) the special beef premium scheme and (iii) the suckler cow scheme for County Meath.

The numbers of applicants already paid calf premium, special beef premium and suckler cow premium for 1989 in County Meath and the numbers still to be paid are as follows:

Payments under the 1989 schemes are not as high as normal for this time of year because the issue of application forms was delayed owing to a High Court challenge to the off-farm income clause of the disadvantaged areas schemes and also because industrial action subsequently delayed the processing of applications.
It is hoped to pay most of the outstanding cases during the next two months.
