The person named registered 18 animals into the Suckler Welfare Scheme for 2008 and 2009.

One of the conditions of the Suckler Welfare Scheme is that an applicant is required to submit a valid Single Payment application for each year. The person named has not submitted a Single Payment application since 2007 and is, therefore, not eligible for payment under the Suckler Welfare Scheme.

However, an official of my Department has made contact with the person named and further consideration will be given to this case on the receipt of the documentation requested from the person named.
