Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
520. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason proof of postage will not be accepted in respect of a 2014 beef data programme application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25828/14]
View answerThe closing date for the Beef Data Programme for 2014 was extended from 4 April to 17 April. A 1% penalty reduction applies for each working day that the application was received after the closing date up to 30th April 2014. Applications received after 30th April 2014 are not admissible. The Terms and Conditions of this Programme specifically state that a swiftpost receipt is required as proof of postage in the event of an application not being received in this office. My Department has no record of an application under the 2014 Beef Data Programme from the person named.
