Theresa Ahearn

Question:

242 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary who applied for the early farm retirement scheme is not acceptable; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7461/95]

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)

My Department has no record of an application in this case. However, it is understood that this person is ineligible because she had not practised farming as a main occupation as required under the scheme.
