Michael Finucane
Ceist:171 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a person (details supplied) in County Limerick will be paid a beef premium; and when the file was passed from the Limerick office.
The application of the person named for grants under the 1992 special beef premium scheme was rejected by computer at validation stage. The error is being dealt with at present and when it is resolved the application will be processed further and if found in order payment will then be made. The application was passed for payment by the Limerick Livestock Office on 30 October 1992. The delay has arisen because a request to the local office to re-examine the file, when the problem was first detected, was never received there.

Ceist:173 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when a beef premium will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The person named was paid 1992 special beef premium scheme grants in mid February 1993 on his June 1992 application. His December 1992 application under this scheme will be processed as soon as possible.
In regard to his ewe premium quota the relevant EC Regulations provide for ewe premium quotas to be based on the number of ewes on which a producer was paid the ewe premium in 1991 provided that the producer also applied for the premium in 1992.
The person named meets both of these conditions and will be granted a quota based on the number of ewes on which he was paid premium in 1991.
