Vol. 443 No. 4
165 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the current position regarding an application made to his Department for beef premium in the name of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and when payment will issue to this person.
The person named has already been paid full grants under the January-February 1993 special beef premium scheme. His application for grants under the November 1993 ten month special beef premium scheme was rejected at a computer validation check because of invalid tag numbers. When the problem is resolved following clarification from the herd owner payment will then be made. His application for grants under the November 1993 22 month special beef premium scheme is being processed at present and payment will be made shortly.
166 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the current position regarding applications made to his Department for suckler cow premium, special beef premium and headage payments in the name of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and when payment will issue to this person.
The person named has already been paid full grants under the 1993 beef cow and equines headage scheme and advances under the 1993 suckler cow and January-February 1993 special beef premium schemes. His suckler cow and special beef premium applications are being processed further at present and any balances due will be paid shortly. He did not apply for grants under the special beef premium scheme in the June 1993 and November 1993 application periods.
167 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when payment of the remainder of January 1993, 22 month beef subsidy and November 1993, subsidy will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary.
The application of the person named for grants under the January-February 1993 special beef premium scheme is being processed further at present and any balance due will be paid shortly. My Department is unable to trace any application from him for grants under the November 1993 special beef premium scheme.
168 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when payment of 22-month beef premium will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary.
The person named applied for premium on nine animals under the June 1993 22-month special beef premium scheme but four of these animals have been deemed ineligible for premium as they were not 21-months at date of application as required under the EU regulations. Payment on the remaining five eligible animals will be made shortly.
169 Mr. Crowley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a cattle headage grant will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
The person named is not the registered owner of the herd number quoted. There is no application under this herd number for the 1993 cattle headage scheme. However, the applications for the 1992 and 1993 suckler cow premium for the herd number quoted are under investigation at present and my Department is in correspondence directly with the herd owner regarding this matter.
