Ceist:123 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when compensation for reactor cattle will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Meath.
Grants for reactors disclosed in November 1989 in the herd of the person named have been withheld as a result of the herdowner's non-compliance with the regulations of the TB eradication scheme.
However he has been informed if three consecutive clear TB tests were carried out on his herd payment of the outstanding grants will be considered. Two such tests have been carried out to date.
