Michael Ring
Question:172 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has not been paid his first REP scheme instalment; the reason his neighbour has already been paid the second instalment, in view of the fact that they both applied at the same time and have similar amounts of leased commonage; and if he will make a statement on the matter in view of the fact that the delay is causing financial hardship.
