Question:77 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a suckler cow premium and a 22 month beef premium will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny.
The person named was not paid an advance under the 1993 suckler cow premium scheme because he has no quota. He has, however, submitted an application for a quota from the special reserve which has been established for allocation to certain categories of producers. His application is being processed at present and if he is allocated a quota, his application for payment of premium will then be processed.
His applications for grants under the January-February 1993 and June 1993 special beef premium schemes are being processed at present and if found in order 60 per cent advances will be paid shortly.

The person named applied under the 1993 ewe premium scheme for payment on 40 sheep.

Payment of the first two advances was made to him on that basis on 25 July 1993. His grant under the 1993 sheep headage scheme will be paid shortly.
