Vol. 478 No. 4
209 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be paid his 1995 special beef premium in view of the fact that the delay is causing financial hardship. [11164/97]
Exhaustive searches have failed to establish any record of receipt of special beef premium applications from the person concerned for 1995 in either of the Department offices in Castlebar or Portlaoise.
The person concerned has since explained that the applications and cards were given to a third party to post on his behalf. I understand the applications were not in fact posted.
