Michael Ring

Ceist:

234 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive area based payments for 2002 and suckler cow premium payments. [20095/02]

The 2002 area aid application of the person named has been fully processed with an area determined for payment of 39.46 hectares.

The person named will be paid his full entitlement under the 2002 area based compensatory allowance scheme shortly.

The person named applied for premium for 16 animals under the 2002 suckler cow premium scheme. The application has been processed and payment will issue shortly.

Billy Timmins

Ceist:

235 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow will receive a slaughter premium on 16 calves; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20096/02]

The person named has been paid slaughter premium in respect of 27 animals found eligible to date under the 2002 scheme. An amount of €1,728.00, which represents an 80% instalment, issued on 16 October 2002 in respect of these 27 animals.

Of the 16 animals referred to in the question, 15 are not eligible for slaughter premium as they were aged between two and three months at the time of slaughter. Under the rules of the slaughter premium scheme, slaughter premium can be paid only on bovines aged eight months and over. The remaining animal is under query as its birth was never registered on the Department's cattle movement monitoring system database.
