Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

The person named was not included on the database of payees received by my Department from the Department of Agriculture and Food. Officials in my Department are making inquiries as to what payment, if any, is due to the person named. A letter will issue to him shortly in this regard.
