Question:417 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if the final stage payment of a ewe premium will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford earlier than mid-April, 1992 in view of his financial difficulties; and whether such an early payment is possible in individual cases.
