41 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if grant aid will be made available for bulk tank refrigeration to Kerry farmers and to farmers in other areas; and if he will outline the amount which has been allocated for this scheme.
The details of the assistance to farmers for expenditure on milk quality measures which I obtained during the recent EC prices negotiations are being finalised with the EC Commission at present.
I will make an announcement on the matter as soon as possible.
42 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the current position regarding an application for a special beef premium subsidy in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and when payment will issue in this case.
This payment is being processed and will issue shortly.
43 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork has not received payment of a special beef premium for 25 animals.
Payment was not made on the 25 animals because 24 were sold without their identity cards being submitted as required and the remaining animal had already been ear-punched for premium.
