Question:109 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive payment of special beef premium for the years 1992 and 1993. [1635/94]
The person named was an applicant for the December 1992 special beef premium scheme on 51 animals but only presented 47 eligible animals at inspection. Initially he was disqualified from the scheme and debarred from the 1993 scheme. However, after a review of his case, my Department has now accepted that the four ineligible animals declared on his application were included because of an innocent error and arrangements are now being made to have the outstanding premia paid to him within the next two weeks.

Question:112 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will have arrangements made for the transfer of cow suckler premium to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick. [1652/94]
The first person named, whose farm is located in the disadvantaged areas, sought approval to have his suckler cow quota transferred to the second person named, whose farm is located outside the disadvantaged areas.
Approval cannot be given because, under EU rules, quota cannot be transferred out of the disadvantaged areas.
Both persons were notified of this in August 1994.
