Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 May 2013
226. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a person (details supplied) in County Cork has been paid all outstanding moneys under the animal welfare recording breeding scheme 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23375/13]
View answerThe person named registered forty one animals for the 2012 Scheme.
Payment issued in respect of four of these animals on 19 December 2012 and for a further twenty animals on 2 May 2013. In August 2011, applicants were informed of the requirement to notify the details of all measures required under the Scheme within one year from the date of birth of the animal. This requirement was also outlined on each of seven post weaning forms that issued to the person named in 2012. This data was not received for ten of the animals before they reached one year of age and these ten animals are now deemed ineligible for payment. One further animal was not eligible because it was born to a dam under 24 months of age.
The remaining six animals were not born until December 2012 and cannot be considered for payment until all of the prescribed measures under this Scheme have been undertaken and the details notified and found to be in order.
