546.
Mr. P. Breen
asked the
Minister for Agriculture and Food
the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare did not receive the full amount of extensification payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
[19614/05]
Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan):
In 2004 Ireland exceeded its national ceiling for special beef premium animals eligible for the first tranche of premium. This necessitated a cutback in the numbers of animals eligible for premium in herds with more than 25 eligible animals. The exact extent of the cutback necessary is not yet known but interim payments for special beef premium and extensification premium have been made. The amount of extensification premium paid to the person named is the correct interim amount. When the definitive position is established any balancing payments that may arise under both special beef premium and extensification premium schemes will be made.
