To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the reason a person (details supplied) was not entitled to a top up on their REP scheme payment and the interim payment from his Department as they are farming in the Twelve Bens Area of Connemara and has a right to put sheep on the mountain; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The top-up on an individual's REP Scheme payment and the Interim Payment from my Department applies to the management of sheep flocks on the Twelve Bens/Garraun Complex and Maumturk Mountains SACs. According to my Department's records, the individual referred to by the Deputy is a cattle only farmer and therefore not entitled to compensation under my Department's scheme.
