The person named applied for the January-February 1993 special beef premium on nine animals. As his herd was not inspected he was asked to forward the relevant cattle identity cards. In reply he indicated that the animals had been sold and he was then asked on 6 December 1993 to forward the relevant sales dockets. When these are received his application will be processed further.
He also applied for the June 1993 special beef premium on two animals. However as his application was incomplete, my Department wrote to him on 22 November 1993 seeking further information and when this is received, his application will be processed.
While my Department has a record of having received an application for the 1993 suckler cow scheme, I regret to say that it has been mislaid. I am however arranging for a 60 per cent advance to be paid to him based on the numbers that he had in the 1992 suckler cow scheme and also for an officer of my Department to call on him with a view to getting a duplicate application completed.
