166 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason for the delay in the payment of a suckler cow grant to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford in view of the fact that an inspection was carried out in September 1991; and when payment will issue.

167 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) will receive payment of a suckler cow grant; and the reason for the delay in payment.

If the application of the person named is found to be in order payment will be made in due course.
168 Mr. Moynihan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will investigate the delay of the payment of a beef premium grant to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry.
