As stated in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 171 of 2 March 1999 in this matter, herdowners must submit a valid area aid application for the relevant year in order to be considered for payment of headage grants. The person named did not submit an area aid application in 1998, and consequently payments cannot issue in respect of his 1998 sheep headage application. However, if the person named forwards a postal certificate as proof of postage and a copy of his original application, my Department will have it processed.
