Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 February 2015
347. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment under the beef data genomics scheme will be issued in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4955/15]
View answerThe person named registered 51 animals under the 2014 Beef Genomics Scheme. The terms and conditions of this scheme require applicants to take BVD (Bovine Viral Diarrhoea) samples for each calf and have them sent to the laboratory within 27 days of birth. BVD samples have only been received for 15 of the applicant's 51 registered animals.
As the person named has not complied with the scheme terms and conditions no payment is due.
