Payment of €80 in respect of the fifteenth animal was made on 12 December 2008. The remaining calf will not qualify for payment, as it was registered outside the statutory requirement of 27 days from the date of birth. A letter in relation to this late registration issued on 19 November 2008, and staff from the Suckler Herds Section of my Department in Portlaoise will be in contact with the person named to seek to resolve the matter.
