Michael Finucane
Ceist:476 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will reconsider the decision in relation to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick in view of the fact that he was paid for 26 animals under the BSE compensation scheme in 1995, that he applied for the 21 month beef premium and was paid 60 per cent of this payment in December 1997, that there was an unfair deduction of £550 as the person did not submit his application for the ten month premium in December 1996 but instead submitted the application in January 1997 as some of the animals qualified for payment at that time and, thus, the person was unfairly penalised and was not aware of the guidelines on this matter.
