asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when headage payments will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Sligo.

The person named has already been paid his 1986 ewe premium advance, cattle headage and calf premium grants.

Provided his application is found to be in order at his flock inspection, he will be paid the balance of his 1986 ewe premium and his 1987 sheep headage grants after these payments commence in June and September 1987 respectively.
