Ceist:262 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive a top up payment of winter fodder aid. [10117/99]
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
The person named received £300 on 31 March 1999, under the 1999 winter fodder scheme.
It has now been established that the lands declared by the person named are in designated DEDs and consequently he has an entitlement to the 50 per cent top-up on fodder scheme payments. Payment of £150 will be made shortly.

I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 88 of 18 February last. The matter referred to remains under investigation and I have asked my officials to bring the matter to a resolution as soon as possible.
