Question:129 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when 1993 headage and suckler grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry.
The person named applied for 1993 cattle headage grant but when his application was processed it was rejected due to inaccuracies in his area aid application. These have now been resolved and any payment due will issue in the near future. He cannot be paid any 1993 suckler cow premium as he has no quota at present. If he succeeds in obtaining a quota from the national reserve his 1993 suckler cow application will be considered.

The person in question applied for the suckler cow premium scheme for small scale milk suppliers on 27 cows in 1993.
