Under the terms and conditions of the scheme animals had to be born before 31 January 1992 in order to qualify for premium.

These problems have now been resolved following clarification from the herd-owner and payment will be made shortly. He did not apply under the January/February or November 1993 special beef premium schemes.
78 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when 22-month beef premium will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.
