Written Answers. - Grant of Probate.

Michael Ring

Ceist:

231 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason it is necessary for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo to submit a grant of probate to get his area based payments for 2002, considering that payment issued to this person in his name in 2001. [20077/02]

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

Payments under the 2001 ewe premium and area-based compensatory allowance schemes issued in the name of the current applicant's father who was then the registered flockowner.

The current applicant is required to submit a grant of probate to establish his legal entitlement to the grants claimed under schemes in 2002.
