Question:

109 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Wexford has not been eligible for suckler cow premium in recent years; the action he will take to rectify this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18512/04]

View answer

Applicants under the suckler cow scheme must have a suckler cow quota to be eligible for payment. The person named does not hold a suckler cow quota and consequently cannot be paid suckler cow premium. He was informed of this requirement in writing on 19 May 2000, 11 April 2001 and as recently as 15 April 2004.

Seymour Crawford

Question:

110 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan can expect to receive special beef and bull premium payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18513/04]

View answer

The person named submitted five applications under the 2003 special beef-bull premium scheme; one on 24 February 2003, in respect of six animals, one on 4 June 2003, in respect of seven animals, one on 24 July 2003, in respect of three animals, one on 23 September 2003, in respect of nine animals and one on 30 December 2003, in respect of 21 animals.

The person named has a milk quota and, initially, payments were calculated using the national average milk yield figure of 3,982 litres, as a result of which the person named was deemed stocking density restricted. Subsequently, the person named provided evidence of being involved in official milk recording, with a confirmed average yield figure of 7,055 litres. This revised data have been inputted into my Department's mainframe computer system, as a result of which all outstanding payments under these schemes will issue shortly.
