Payment of €1,360 in respect of seventeen animals was issued on 14 November 2008. Five calves will not qualify for payment as they were registered outside the statutory requirement of 27 days from the date of birth. One calf will not qualify because its dam calved down under 22 months of age. The remaining two animals are showing errors on the animal event dates. Staff from the Suckler Herds Section of my Department in Portlaoise will be in contact with the herdowner shortly to seek to resolve the remaining errors.
