Brendan Kenneally
Ceist:147 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the reason ten month and 22-month beef premia in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford have not been paid in full and a balance of 20 per cent held back to be paid at the end of March or early April 1997; if this is a deliberate policy in his Department in view of the pending general election; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
