Vol. 541 No. 5
205 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if his Department will pay headage grants for 2000 to a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [23430/01]
The person named was paid his full entitlement of £408 under the 2000 cattle headage scheme on 4 October 2000. The person named was paid £582.32 on 3 October 2001 in respect of 12.94 hectares of mountain type land at £45 per hectare under the 2001 area based compensatory allowance scheme.
206 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will reinvestigate the payment under the 2001 area aid scheme to a person (details supplied) in County Cork; the level of payment received per hectare; the classification of the land involved; and if the owner has a right of appeal on this matter. [23450/01]
The person named was paid £2,664.08 under the 2001 area based compensatory allowance scheme on 24 September 2001 in respect of 59.20 hectares of mountain type land at £45 per hectare. As the amount paid was greater than his average headage payment of £1,046.00 over the years 1998, 1999 and 2000, no compensation for loss under the area based scheme is due.
207 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will receive a headage payment. [23451/01]
The 2001 area aid application of the person named has now been fully processed and payment of his full entitlement under the 2001 area based compensatory allowance scheme will issue before the end of October 2001.
