Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Malcolm Noonan)

I am advised that the annual payment for 2021 under the cessation of turf cutting compensation scheme issued to the applicant referred to in the Deputy’s question on 31 August 2021.

Annual payments under the scheme for qualifying applicants are generally made from the second quarter of each year in order to facilitate applicants in the provision of fuel for the following winter period.
