Mr. Stanton Mr. Stanton

79. Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when the second instalment of beef premium payments will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [3154/99]

Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh): The person named entered 13 animals for special beef premium in November 1997. A 60 per cent advance payment issued on 16 February 1998. The person named did not forward sufficient maps with his area aid application and consequently balancing payments under the special beef premium application were delayed pending clearance of the area aid application. The area aid application was recently cleared and it is expected that the balancing payment will issue over the coming weeks.
