Question:157 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon did not receive a hardship grant for being locked up with tuberculosis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22230/02]
The person concerned became eligible for payment of the hardship grant on 17 March 2002. On 26 March 2002 he sought and was given permission by the district veterinary office to buy in animals to his restricted holding. Under the rules of the scheme, eligibility for the hardship grant ceases from the date that permission to buy in is issued. The person concerned was therefore only eligible for payment from 17 March 2002 to 25 March 2002. The appropriate payment for this period has issued.
