Written Answers. - Forestry Premiums Eligibility.

John Ellis

Question:

302 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of applications for premiums for forestry that have been rejected in each of the past four years; and the main reason they have been rejected. [16192/95]

Eligibility for annual premiums is based on satisfactory maintenance of the related forestry plantation. Premium applications are rejected only in circumstances where the plantation has not been properly maintained or the applicants have not satisfied income and residential conditions of the scheme. The number of such cases in each of the years 1991-1994 is as follows:

Year
