Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
569. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a decision will issue in respect of an application under the breeding scheme for suckler herds to a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [25515/13]
View answerThe person named registered 11 animals under the 2012 Suckler Welfare Scheme. Payment has been approved for 8 of these animals and will issue in the near future. Under the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, dams of calves should be at least 24 months old at the time of first calving. In this case, two of the dams were under 22 months of age at time of calving and are therefore ineligible for payment. A letter issued to the applicant on 23 May 2013 with a view to resolution of errors identified with the remaining animal.
