Question:8 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not been paid his ten month special beef premium on all cattle entered on his February 1993 application; if he will make a statement on the information given by his Department that some of the animals in question were too old for this particular premium by one month; his views on whether these conditions make it difficult for farmers to become eligible for such grants.
