Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 April 2013
480. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if payment has issued in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20162/13]
View answerThe person named registered five animals for the 2011 Suckler Welfare Scheme and eighteen animals for the 2012 Scheme.
Following validation of recently received weaning information, one of the 2011 born animals and ten of the 2012 born animals have been approved for payment, which will issue within the next 10 days. A further three of the 2012 born animals have only been weaned in the last 2 weeks and cannot be considered for payment for another 2 weeks to ensure that all of the requirements of the Scheme have been complied with. Payment will issue for these three animals when compliance has been verified.
Errors have been identified in relation to the remaining 2011 and 2012 born animals and letters regarding these errors have issued to the applicant on 29th April 2013.
