Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 March 2005
300 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the entitlements under the single farm payments which are credited to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7028/05]
View answerThe persons named have submitted an application for consideration under the new entrant measure of the single payment scheme.
However, following an initial examination of this application, it was deemed that the circumstances were more relevant to the inheritance measure, as the lands were transferred by way of gift in 2002. The persons named have subsequently been requested to forward a copy of the deed of transfer to support the application.
An official of my Department contacted the persons named by telephone and the documentation requested is to be furnished early next week. Upon receipt of the outstanding documentation the matter will receive immediate attention and the persons named will be issued with a decision in respect of this application.
