Farmers convicted in separate sheep irregularities
Two farmers have been convicted in court on separate offences under the Sheep Annual Premium Regulations (SAPS).
SAPS is an EC based subsidy scheme payable annually on eligible ewes. In order to claim the Premium a person must own or lease sheep for which they are claiming and must retain the animals on locations notified to the department for a period of 100 days (known as the retention period).
In the first case, Bryan Duffy from Lurgandarragh in Enniskillen pleaded guilty to one offence under the Regulations and one offence under the Animals (Records) Order (Northern Ireland) 1997.
He was fined £100 and £200 respectively plus £49 costs following his appearance at Enniskillen Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
On Monday, Kieran McParland from Carrickgallogly Road in Armagh, was convicted of two offences under the Regulations.
He was fined £1,500 for each offence, plus £61 costs at Armagh Magistrates’ Court.
