Vol. 504 No. 4

Written Answers. - Grant Payments.

Paul McGrath

Ceist:

154 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason for the delay in responding to an application for the fodder scheme for a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath; when the payment will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12135/99]

The eligibility of the person, details supplied, under the fodder scheme is being assessed and any payment due will be made when these inquiries are completed.

Michael Ring

Ceist:

156 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo was informed of his right to appeal the decision to reduce his 1998 cattle headage; if this matter will be investigated; if a letter issued to the herd owner notifying him of his right to appeal; and, if so, the date of the letter. [12169/99]

When the herd of the person named was inspected on 17 August 1998 in relation to his application under the 1998 cattle headage scheme, he was informed in writing at the inspection that because two animals, tag numbers PSA226428 and PRA678551, had lost their tags, his payments under the scheme could be affected. He was also advised that if he wished to bring any additional information to the Department's attention that he should do so in writing within seven days, but as he did not do so, payment was made on the remaining animals without any penalty being imposed.
