View answer

Written answers

The person named began his current REPS plan on 1 October 2003 and was entitled to apply for his second year payment in October 2004. He was sent the necessary application form before the anniversary date.

However according to my Department's records he has not yet applied for the payment. Payment cannot be made without an application. To receive the payment in full he must apply by 31 December 2004; after that, penalties for late application will apply.

Paul Connaughton

Question:

189 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a farm development grant for farm buildings dating back to 1983 and currently in the Chief State Solicitor’s office has not been awarded to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33610/04]

View answer

Legal proceedings instituted by the person concerned are still in place regarding this matter and I am not therefore in a position to make any payment at this stage. I understand the remaining issue to be resolved is of costs and I am hopeful that negotiations on this aspect of the case will be concluded shortly.
