I propose to take Questions Nos. 181 and 202 together.
The person named was paid €887.92, £699.29 on 18 December 2001 under the area-based compensatory allowance scheme in respect of 4.05 hectares of less severely handicapped land at €76.18, £60 per hectare and including an additional sum of €579.39, £456.31 under a compensation package agreed with the European Commission for farmers experiencing losses under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme. The additional sum is equal to 90% of the difference between the average sum of the headage payments to the person named under the 1998, 1999 and 2000 headage schemes and the amount payable under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme.
182 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a suckler cow premium payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7970/02]
The person named applied for premium for 35 animals under the 2001 suckler cow premium scheme. Following a herd inspection on 8 November 2001 the herdowner was informed that due to non-compliance with the identification and registration requirements no payment could be made under the 2001 scheme. The applicant successfully appealed this decision and on 5 February 2002 was informed that his application would be processed for payment on the basis of 35 animals. Payment of his 100% entitlement will issue within the next ten days.
