Vol. 487 No. 3
93 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the reason for the delay in the payment of forestry premia to applicants in County Leitrim; and the proposals, if any, he has to have extra staff brought into this section in order that payments can be expedited. [3820/98]
There have been some temporary delays in processing premium applications for County Leitrim. Steps are currently being taken to expedite the payment of outstanding premium payments.
94 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the reason a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim has not received his forestry plantation grant for the years 1996 and 1997. [3830/98]
The applicant was paid his forest premium for 1996 on 12 April 1996. The premium for 1997, due in April, was withheld pending the resolution of a mapping issue. Arrangements are now being made to pay the 1997 and 1998 premiums together.
