The person named has 12 animals for consideration under the 2008 Suckler Welfare Scheme. To date, payment totalling €480 has issued in respect of 6 animals. Two further animals have been cleared for payment. A further three animals are in eligible, two have late registrations and one animal is missing the sire details. The remaining animal has not been confirmed as having been weaned. The person named is now deceased and it still has to be determined as to who is legally entitled to the balance of the monies due. In this regard, and also to allow a follow-up of the outstanding queries, an official from my Department will contact the next of kin.
