Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 June 2014
416. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo was told a beef data programme scheme application was not received; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24385/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has no record of having received any application under the 2014 Beef Data Programme for the person named. If the person named did send in an application for this Scheme, he will need to write into the Beef Schemes Section, Old Abbeyleix Road, Portlaoise outlining his case and supplying the required certificate of postage of the application, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme. The certificate required under the Terms and Conditions is a Swiftpost receipt. Ordinary certificates of postage cannot be accepted as there is no facility to track these certificates and, therefore, it is not possible to verify that the document was posted on the date stated.
