Vol. 506 No. 2
184 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if the amount due on arrears will be reduced or waived for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo in view of the financial pressure he is under due to bereavements in the family; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15148/99]
The annuity payable by the person named was reduced from £351.82 to £216.50 in May 1993 and it is not proposed to give any further reduction. He has only paid a sum of £200 since May 1993 and he currently owes £1,207.25, i.e. a balance of £16.50 in respect of the November 1993 instalment and eleven instalments of £108.25 each due from May 1994 to May 1999. If the person named requires some time to clear the amount outstanding, he should contact the collection branch of my Department at Michael Davitt House, Castlebar where his request will be considered.
