121 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the present position in relation to a TB reactor grant application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if payment will be made before the end of this year.
The TB reactor grant due to the person named will be paid within the next few weeks.
122 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a ewe premium grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
The first and second advance of the 1991 ewe premium will be paid to the person named within the next three weeks.
123 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when an installation aid grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will ensure that payment will be made before the end of this year.
It is hoped to have this application determined shortly. If the applicant is found to be eligible payment will be made as soon as possible.
124 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the present position in relation to an application under the 1990 special beef premium scheme by a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and when the grant is expected to be paid.
This applicant has already been paid his grants under the 1990 special beef premium scheme. The payable order issued on 6 May 1991 and was cashed on 17 May 1991.
125 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a ewe premium grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick whose original application was rejected and who has since submitted supportive documentation on his claim and is awaiting an appropriate response; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
As the person named did not retain his ewes for 100 days from 2 March 1990 as required by the EC Regulations governing the 1989 and 1990 ewe premium schemes and as he presented ewes that had been already ear-notched for premium at his inspection, he cannot be paid premium for either of those years. This decision has already been conveyed to him through a person who approached my Department on his behalf in this matter.
As regards his 1991 ewe premium application, he was paid a first instalment of £934.03 on 91 ewes on 8 October 1991 and will be paid the remaining instalments as they fall due.
126 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when an installation aid grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick.
It is hoped to have this grant paid within the next three to four weeks.
128 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when the second advance payment of the 1991 ewe premium will be paid to farmers.
The second advance of the 1991 ewe premium will be paid as soon as possible after the publication of the relevant EC Regulation. This is expected to be within the next two weeks.
