Edward Nealon
Question:481 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a large number of herd owners in County Leitrim did not receive the 60 per cent advance headage payment before Christmas, 1993; the percentage of herd owners who received their money; if, in view of the routine nature of this process which simply required referral to last year's headage payments, he will give the reason so many herd owners in County Leitrim were not paid; when the moneys will be sent on to these people; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
