The person named was paid an advance under the 1993 cattle headage beef cow scheme. His application cannot be processed further, however, until a form given to him at on-farm inspection of 22 October 1993 is completed and returned to the local livestock office. He was reminded of the need to complete this form relating to date on which heifers were due to calf before the end of 1993 when he telephoned the local office on 17 February 1994.

Ceist:127 Mr. E. Kenny asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is entitled to cattle headage and premium; and the up-to-date position regarding maximum amounts payable to this person.
The person named is an applicant for the 1993 cattle headage and 1993 sheep headage schemes. He was paid his sheep headage grant in full on 29 November 1993 and an advance of his cattle headage grant on 3 December 1993. The amount of his cattle headage grant was restricted as he declared insufficient acreage on his area aid application. In order to receive his full grant he would need to have approximately 87 acres and not 72.77 acres as he declared.
