The person named registered thirty seven animals under the 2010 Suckler Welfare Scheme. Payment has issued in respect of twenty two animals, as they are clear for payment. During the validation process, errors were established in the case of three animals and a letter was issued by my Department to the person named seeking clarification on these errors. The person named has not submitted details of the required measures under the Suckler Welfare Scheme for the remaining animals. Therefore, no payment can be made to the applicant until this information is submitted to my Department and has been found, during validation checks, to comply with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme.
