The person named registered ten beef breed animals under the 2010 Suckler Welfare Scheme. To date, payment has issued in respect of five of these animals. The validation process carried out by my Department identified errors in respect of the remaining five animals. My Department has written to the applicant on 15 July seeking clarification on these errors. On receipt of a response from the applicant, the application will be subjected to further processing with a view to issuing payment on the remaining animals that are eligible for payment.

An application for payment in respect of the person concerned was received in my Department on 23 May 2011. This application is currently being processed.

Department of Finance Circular 44 of 2006 requires that applicants for all grants and similar type payments from State and public sector bodies produce a tax clearance certificate where the payments total more than €10,000 in a 12 month period. The total amount payable to the person concerned by the Department within this period exceeds €10,000 and payment cannot be made until such time as he submits a current tax clearance certificate. Payment will issue to the applicant upon receipt of same.
