Dan Neville
Question:63 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a hardship grant will be awarded to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick following a herd disease outbreak. [9430/04]
View answerThe hardship grant is aimed at assisting eligible owner-keeper(s) with a restricted holding where animals are retained and fed during periods of restriction. The onus is on the owner-keeper(s) to apply for a hardship grant. An essential prerequisite for eligibility under the hardship scheme is that an owner-keeper(s) must lodge a completed application form ER97 with the local district veterinary office during the restriction period. The holding of the person concerned was restricted on 3 October 2003 and derestricted on 5 March 2004. The local district veterinary office has no record of an application form ER97 having been received. Under the scheme, there is no retrospective facility for now lodging a completed application form.
