I understand that this case relates to a change of the declared forest ownership following a bereavement. The requisite form has issued recently to the person in question. Once the ownership issue is clarified, payment of the 2007 premium can be made.

Question 793: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo, an applicant for extensification was awarded a penalty in 1994; and if the decision taken will be reviewed in view of the fact that the person made a genuine mistake. [15373/07]

The person named submitted two applications under the 1994 Special Beef Premium Scheme (in respect of three and six animals, respectively) and one application under the 1994 Suckler Cow Premium (in respect of nine animals). Following validation, payment issued in full in respect of all animals concerned under both these schemes.

In 1994, an Extensification Premium was payable, on male cattle and suckler cows, to producers whose stocking density was less than 1.4 livestock units per hectare. Records show the person named was not entitled to payment under this particular scheme as the stocking density of his holding exceeded the limit for eligibility.
