Vol. 510 No. 5

Written Answers. - Grant Payments.

Michael Ring

Ceist:

104 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive a 1998 extensification payment. [23041/99]

Extensification premium is paid on all animals paid under the suckler cow and special beef premium schemes if the stocking density on the holding is less than 1.4 livestock units per hectare.

The stocking density for the person named is calculated as follows and is based on the number of animals applied on.

LUs

Suckler Cow Premium Scheme

18.0

Ewe Premium Scheme

Nil

Special Beef Premium

– 10 month 17 @ 0.6

10.2

– 22 month 9 @ 0.6

5.4

Plus Milk Quota equivalent

Nil

Total Livestock Units

33.6

The person named declared 22.5 hectares on his area aid application. The stocking density on the holding is calculated by dividing the total livestock units by the hectares – 33.6/22.5 – giving a stocking density of 1.49 LUs/hectare.
As the stocking density on the holding is not less than 1.4 LUs/hectare the person named has no entitlement to 1998 extensification premium.

105 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 1999 cattle and sheep headage. [23043/99]

The person named included a parcel on her application which is also being claimed by another herdowner as commonage. A letter and maps have issued to the person named with a view to clarifying the position.

No payments can issue until the matter has been resolved.

I understand the information requested has now been transmitted directly to the Deputy by the group.
