Written answers
The person named has been contacted on a number of occasions by my Department. Originally, maps were not submitted to support his 2004 area aid application. Following submission of these maps, area difficulties were discovered and further maps have been issued to the person named to resolve these outstanding mapping problems. On receipt of his reply, the area aid unit will process his area aid application without delay.
He has also been asked to resolve some problems with the eligibility of animals for suckler cow premium. Any payments found to be due under the area based compensatory allowance, suckler cow and ewe supplementary premium schemes will be made as soon as possible after these application problems have been resolved.

View answerThe 2003 payment issued to the persons named on 30 November 2004. It was delayed by issues that emerged from an on-farm inspection and these have only recently been resolved. The participants were invited in mid-November to apply for the fourth year payment but no application has yet been received in my Department.
