Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
1330. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a TB compensation payment will issue to a farmer (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39068/23]
View answerThe primary compensation scheme for farmers whose herds are affected by TB is the On-Farm Market Valuation Scheme under which compensation is payable for cattle removed as reactors.
My officials have informed me that the Herdowner in question is due to receive two separate payments under the On Farm Market Valuation scheme. Outstanding documentation relating to the first payment was submitted by the farmer on 23 August 2023. Pre Payment checks have now been completed by staff in the Regional Veterinary Office and this payment has been forwarded to the herdowner's nominated account. The second payment has now also completed its pre payment validations and is due to be forwarded to the nominated account of the herdowner in the coming days.
