Beef data payments due to be made next month

It is intended to make payments under the Beef Data and Genomics Programme in December to herds who have met their 2015 requirements, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney announced yesterday.

He said he was delighted payments are on target to commence in December in respect of the first year of a participant’s six year contract.

“These payments will ensure that vital funding is injected into the beef sector before the end of the year,” he said.
