Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 April 2010
855 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the 2009 cow welfare scheme will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15210/10]
View answerThe person named applied for 24 animals in 2009 under the Suckler Welfare Scheme.
It is a condition of this Scheme that for herds of more than 10 cows the calves must be weaned in at least two separate groups with each group being removed at a minimum interval of five days. The applicant did not comply with this condition and, therefore, is not eligible for payment under the provisions of the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme.
