Vol. 511 No. 6
199 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if a person (details supplied) in County Wexford will be paid livestock premia entitlements based on the amalgamation of his herd with his late uncle's herd; and if the forage areas and herd details can be combined and consolidated in a way he will be issued with full premia payments. [24938/99]
200 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 1999 cattle and sheep headage and premia. [24939/99]
The person named amended his original 1999 area aid application to include two new plots. These new plots are currently being entered on the Department's electronic database. When this process has been completed any payments due will issue.
The person named applied on 24 animals under the 1999 cattle headage scheme. One of these animals was not registered with the national calf birth registration service and my Department wrote to him on 8 July 1999 requesting that the animal be registered. To date this animal has not been registered. My Department has now written to the person named advising him that no grant will be paid on this animal and that the grants payable on the remaining animals will be subject to a reduced payment in accordance with clauses 13, 29 and 33(d) of the terms and conditions governing the scheme. He has been given the opportunity to appeal this decision by writing to my Department setting out any facts which he wishes to put forward to support his case. Any such appeal will be considered as a matter of urgency.
201 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 1999 headage and premia payments in view of the fact he has returned his maps to the area aid section. [24940/99]
The person named did not initially supply the information necessary to process his 1999 area aid application. Therefore, the area aid unit issued maps to the herdowner to enable him to outline the boundaries of the land claimed by him. These maps have now been returned and are currently being entered on to the Department's electronic database. Any payments due will issue shortly.
202 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive headage and premia payments. [24941/99]
The person named did not initially supply the maps necessary to process her 1999 area aid application. The area aid unit issued maps to the person named to enable her to outline the boundaries of the land claimed by her. These maps have not yet been returned to the area aid unit and therefore it is not possible to process her application.
203 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 1999 cattle headage. [24942/99]
The person named did not initially supply the maps necessary to process his 1999 area aid application. Therefore, the area aid unit issued maps to the herdowner, to enable him to outline the boundaries of land claimed by him, and a response is awaited. The application can not be further processed until a reply is received.
204 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 1999 cattle and sheep headage and premia payments. [24943/99]
The 1999 area aid application for the person named has now been fully processed and any payments due will issue as soon as possible.
205 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has not received 1999 cattle and sheep headage payments. [24944/99]
The person named amended his original 1999 area aid application to include two new plots. These new plots are currently being entered on the Department's electronic database. When this process has been completed any payments due will issue.
