View answerThe above named person is an applicant under the installation aid scheme and has submitted an application for payment, IAS 2, to my Department. Following an examination by my Department's inspectorate, the application was found to be incomplete. The required outstanding documentation has been requested and on receipt of the same, the application will be re-examined and the outcome notified to the applicant in due course.
174 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare did not receive their 2002 extensification premium; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19625/04]
View answerAn application for 2002 extensification premium was made by the now deceased husband of the person named. Payment of the grant to the person named will be made on production of a grant of probate to will, letters of administration or a letter of indemnity from her solicitor. She was informed of the position in a telephone call on 25 June 2003 and also by letter dated 10 January 2004.
The person named applied to the Department to have the herd number transferred into her name and she became the registered herd owner on 29 January 2003. Since the application for 2003 extensification premium was made in her own name, payment of 2003 extensification premium, which amounted to €880.00, issued to her in the normal way on 10 June 2004.
