Written Answers. - Grant Payments.

John Ellis

Ceist:

306 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if headage and premium will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Sligo; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1961/00]

The person named included commonage in his 1999 area aid application, but did not provide proof of his entitlement to claim this commonage. The herdowner has been contacted in this regard. No payments can issue until this matter has been resolved.

Ceist:

307 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if a 1999 bull premium will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [1962/00]

The person named applied for special beef premium in respect of four steers and one bull on 21 January 1999. The application was the subject of a field inspection, at which it was found that one steer and one bull were ineligible on the grounds of age. The application has been processed on this basis and payment will issue as soon as possible.

Ceist:

308 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if 1997 and 1998 extensification grants will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim. [1963/00]

Extensification premium is payable on all animals paid under the suckler cow and special beef premium schemes where the stocking density on the holding is less than 1.4 livestock units per hectare. The person named made no application under the suckler cow premium scheme or the special beef premium scheme in 1997 or 1998. He therefore has no entitlement to extensification premium for those years.

Ceist:

310 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when headage payments will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1965/00]

The person named has not supplied an RSI number and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the cattle headage scheme payment is delayed. My Department has written to him on the matter and when the RSI number is received payment will issue to him.
