Question:91 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the average market value of a mountain ewe for assessment purposes excluding any direct payments value. [22759/99]
The value of a mountain ewe is not used for assessment purposes under any scheme operated by my Department.
I understand that the assessment by the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs of the value of mountain ewes for the determination of eligibility for schemes operated by that Department includes both the market value of the ewe and the income from ewe premium, rural world premium and headage payments. The value of these direct payments alone are estimated at £33 per ewe for this year.
