Tony Killeen
Question:34 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason for the non-payment of 1992 headage, suckler cow and sheep premia to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will ensure that payment is made in this case.
The person named applied for the 1992 cattle headage, suckler cow and ewe premium schemes. He is not eligible for payment of 1992 cattle headage grant and suckler cow premium because he failed to present his animals for inspection as required under the terms and conditions of both schemes, despite being notified twice to do so. Under the 1992 ewe premium scheme the person named was deemed ineligible for payment as he was unable to prove to the satisfaction of the Department that he had in his possession on the date of application the number of sheep on which he claimed premium.
