The person named applied for premium for 15 animals under the 2001 suckler cow premium scheme. In processing the application for payment it was found that a number of animals required further checks regarding details recorded on the CMMS. These matters have now been resolved except for animal tag number HWA518784. According to CMMS records this animal was slaughtered on 27 August 2001 under a County Cork herdnumber. As there is no record of the animal having been moved off the holding of the person named the matter is being queried further. The district livestock office of my Department has contacted the applicant and the application will be dealt with further on receipt of his reply.
The person named added a new plot of land to his 2001 area aid application. This plot is now being entered on the Department's electronic database. When the area aid application has been fully processed and found in order payment due under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme will issue.
