The person named submitted three applications under the 2003 special beef premium scheme — one on 20 February 2003, in respect of three animals, one on 5 September 2003, in respect of one animal, and one on 22 December 2003, in respect of four animals. One of the animals included on the application of 22 December 2003 was notified to the CMMS database incorrectly. This query has now been resolved and balancing payments on all 2003 special beef premium applications will issue shortly.

During 2003 four animals eligible for the slaughter premium scheme were slaughtered under the herd number of the person named. The 80% advance in respect of these four animals issued on 21 October 2003 and 12 March 2004. The balancing payments will issue shortly.

The person named applied for premium on 15 animals under the 2003 suckler cow premium scheme. The application has been processed for payment and his 80% advance instalment amounting to €2689.80 was paid on 17 October 2003. The 20% balancing payment will issue shortly.

The person named applied to participate in the 2003 extensification premium. Payment of this premium is scheduled to commence next month but it is too early to confirm if he will qualify for payment. The person named was due €1,338.65 under the 2003 area-based compensatory allowance scheme of which €911.41 was paid to him on 22 September 2003 with the balance of €427.24 offset against arrears of land purchase annuities.
