Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 February 2005
213 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if her officials will include this animal (details supplied) in this person’s (details supplied) cattle movement monitoring system register in view of information (details supplied). [6124/05]
View answerThe person named included the animal in question on an application under the 2004 special beef premium scheme received in my Department on 15 July 2004. It is a requirement of the scheme that animals being submitted for premium be CMMS compliant on the date of application. Following computer validation it was found that the animal in question was not recorded on the CMMS database as being in the herd of the person named at the date of application.
By letter dated 24 November 2004 the person named was advised that the animal in question was non-CMMS compliant and was requested to have the movement of the animal regularised. The CMMS database was subsequently amended on 6 December 2004 showing the movement of the animal concerned into the herd of the person named.
By letter dated 10 January 2005 the person named was advised that, as the animal in question was non-CMMS compliant on the date of application for premium, no payment would be made on that animal and a penalty would be applied, in accordance with the terms and conditions. The person named was advised of the right of appeal; to date, no appeal has been received.
