The person named registered four animals under 2008, seven animals under the 2009 and nine animals under the 2010 Suckler Welfare Scheme. During the course of processing the case errors were encountered in the case of calves born in each of the three years.

Letters were issued on 17 August 2009, and 16 June 2011 respectively in respect of the 2008 and 2009 born calves. My Department has received no reply from the applicant. In addition, the applicant did not register any of the measures required under the Terms and Conditions in respect of the 2010 born calves.

The person named did not attend the mandatory training course associated with the Scheme and, therefore, the person named was excluded from the Scheme with effect from 2010 as he did not meet one of the primary requirements under the Terms and Conditions of the Suckler Cow Welfare Scheme.
