View answerAn application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 20 April 2010. The advance payment which issued on 18 October and the interim balancing payment which issued on 1 December were on the basis of those parcels cleared for payment at that stage, as a number of the land parcels listed on the application of the person named required re-digitisation. This process is now complete, and the final payment due will issue shortly. Payment due under REPS will issue in the coming ten days.

396 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare has not yet received payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2201/11]
View answerThe person named registered twenty three animals under the 2009 Suckler Welfare Scheme. Payment has issued in respect of eight animals and a further two animals have been cleared for payment, which will issue shortly. The remaining thirteen animals have been deemed ineligible –twelve of the calves were sold before the required measures were completed, and the remaining animal was not eligible for payment as it was a twin. Payment under the Suckler Welfare Scheme is made on the dam and, therefore, in the case of twins, the dam is only entitled to benefit from one payment. The person named registered fifteen animals under the 2010 Suckler Welfare Scheme, one animal is deemed ineligible as the calf was sold before weaning was completed. The remaining fourteen animals have been processed for payment, which will issue shortly.
