Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 May 2004
121 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person, details supplied, in County Clare can expect to receive their 15% grant under the farm waste management scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15842/04]
View answerThe person named is an applicant under the farm waste management scheme. Payment of €27,934.50 will issue shortly to the person concerned.
122 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food why a person, details supplied, in County Westmeath has not been paid a beef premium, slaughter premium and an area aid payment; and if he will arrange to have this payment made without further delay. [15843/04]
View answerThe person named was paid full compensatory allowance on 23 September 2003, 80% of one special beef premium application on 20 October 2003, 80% of another on 1 March 2004, 100% of a third on 19 April 2004 and 80% slaughter premium on 21 October 2003.
The making of balancing payments to him was delayed somewhat because of the fact that the herd number of the person named was changed in 2003 and because some applications were submitted under the old herd number and others under the new. I am arranging, however, for payment of the outstanding special beef and slaughter premium balances and of the full entitlements due under the remaining two 2003 special beef premium applications submitted by him to be made shortly.
