249 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when grants under the brucellosis eradication scheme will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The reactor grants due to the person named will be processed for payment on receipt of a tax clearance certificate in the district veterinary office.
250 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a sheep headage grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry.
My Department has no record of an application received from the person named. The herd number quoted appears to be incorrect.
251 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a slaughter premium payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry.
My Department is unable to trace an application under the 1993 deseasonalisation slaughter premium from the person named.
252 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a decision will be made on the eligibility of a person (details supplied) in County Cork for payment of a suckler cow grant; if payment will issue; and if so, when.
The application of the person named for grants under the 1993 suckler cow premium scheme is being processed at present and any advance payment due will be made shortly. Delay in processing payment has arisen because of a problem with his leased milk quota which has now been resolved.
Payment of the balance of suckler cow premium cannot be made to a particular applicant until all applications received from him/her in the course of 1993 have been processed. This is necessary to ensure compliance with European Union regulations covering in particular the ceiling on eligible animals and stocking density.
