Question:220 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the current position in relation to a headage grant application for cattle of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal. [22267/00]
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
The person named will be paid his entitlement under the 2000 cattle headage scheme within the next seven days. Payment in this case was delayed because the person named applied on animal tag number 161094870061 under the 2000 cattle headage scheme even though he had already registered the death of this animal on my Department's animal death registration database. Following an investigation of the matter my Department is now satisfied that the person named registered the death of the wrong animal. The animal tag number which should have been registered was 161094860060 and the animal applied on, tag number 161094870061, is in fact still in the herd of the person named.
