Written answers

An application under the 2010 Grassland Sheep Scheme was received from the person named on the 15 May 2010. The payment which issued to the applicant was based, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, on the 2009 Sheep Census, which indicated that the person named had two hundred breeding ewes in his flock. In respect of the 2011 Grassland Sheep Scheme, as my Department has no record of receiving a 2010 Sheep Census return from the person named, no payment is due to the person named.
