83 Mr. Browne (Carlow-Kilkenny) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when cereal payments will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Carlow. [20709/97]
The person referred to was a new applicant for arable aid in 1997 and is not in possession of a herd number. Before a dormant herd number can be allotted to a new arable aid applicant the applicant's holding is subject to a compulsory on the ground inspection. It was the decision of the Department's inspector based on the facts available to him, that a dormant herd number could not issue and the person was notified accordingly on 6 October 1997. The decision has been appealed and the matter is currently under review. The outcome of the review will determine whether payment can be made.
