Question:

213 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the payments to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick in November 1993 and November 1994 in respect of cows, in-calf heifers, bulls, weanling heifers, calves and pedigree animals; the total number of each category; the total payments made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10832/96]

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

Details of reactor/depopulation grants which issued to the person concerned in November, 1994 are set out as follows.

	Grants
Reactor	Depopulation
22 Pedigree Cows	£7,480
207 Cows	£49,680	£13,800 (230 cows)
53 Pregnant heifers	£12,720	£3,180
30 Maiden heifers	£4,550	£600
	£74,430	£17,580

There were no payments made to this person in November, 1993.

However in relation to the disease breakdown referred to above, a sum of £77,155 was also paid to the person named in March 1995 arising from the retrospective application of increased reactor/depopulation grant rates to herds where animals were removed prior to 1 January 1994 but which remained restricted after 1 January 1994.
