Question:59 Mr. E. Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when the remainder of cattle headage grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo.
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
The person named was paid advances of his 1993 cattle headage grant on 27 November 1993 and his 1993 suckler cow premium on 29 November 1993. His applications are being processed further at present and any balance of the headage grant due will be paid in the near future.
Payment of the balance of the 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 EU regulations covering in particular the ceiling on eligible animals and stocking density. The processing of November 1993 applications means that in most cases payment of the final 40 per cent of premium will not start before April.
