Michael Creed
Ceist:47 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be paid a suckler cow grant; the reason for the delay in this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
This applicant has already been paid his 1989 calf premium scheme grant and an advance payment under the 1989 cattle and equines headage scheme.
Delay in payment of his 1989 suckler cow premium and the balance due under the 1989 cattle and equines headage scheme arose because of a clerical error in his inspection report which showed him as having no suckler or beef cows when in actual fact he had. The error has now been rectified and payments under those schemes are being processed and will issue shortly.
