Vol. 500 No. 1

Written Answers - Suckler Cow Quota.

Liam Aylward

Ceist:

126 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if his Department will accept a late application under the 1999 national reserve suckler cow scheme from a person (details supplied) in County Carlow to whom no application form issued in spite of numerous requests for the relevant form. [3203/99]

The closing date for accepting completed applications for an allocation of suckler cow quota from the 1999 national reserve was 8 January 1999 and this date was widely advertised in the farming and national press in the preceding weeks. An application cannot be accepted at this stage as to do so may result in the displacement of another applicant who did apply on time in favour of the late applicant. Application forms for the national reserve were available at each local office of my Department but there is no record of having received requests from the person named for an applicant form.
