Willie Penrose

Ceist:

130 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 221 of 23 February 1999, his Department has had written communication with a person (details supplied) informing him of the need for a current tax clearance certificate to be submitted; if the required form for completion by the Revenue Commissioners was forwarded to him; the measures, if any, he will take to expedite the case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13092/99]

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

On 17 February 1999 an official of the farm development services office, Tullamore informed the Teagasc consultant who prepared the application in question, by telephone, of the necessity for the applicant to provide a current tax clearance certificate. To date this document has not been furnished to my Department's local FDS office in Tullamore.

Application forms for tax clearance certificates are available in the local office of my Department. To expedite this case, I will arrange to have a form forwarded to the applicant.
