Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 September 2012
195. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture; Food and the Marine if he has received an appeal regarding the suckler cow welfare scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; when a decision will issue on this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39911/12]
View answerA request for review of the decision to exclude the person concerned from further participation in the Suckler Welfare Scheme, because of non-attendance at a mandatory training course, was received on 31 August 2012. Having reviewed the particular circumstances, it has been decided to readmit this herd owner to the Scheme and my Department has written to the herd owner setting out the position and requirements for compliance with the Scheme. Payment to the person concerned will issue, as soon as possible, subject to the completion of the normal validation processes.
