Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2005
337 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason single payment entitlements have not been calculated on behalf of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13323/05]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for consideration in respect of the new entrant and inheritance measures of the single payment scheme. Following processing of her application, she was originally informed that the new entrant measure would be more beneficial. Following a further review of her circumstances, however, it came to light that the inheritance measure is the more beneficial position and the person named has been notified accordingly. A statement of provisional entitlements reflecting the amended position will issue to the person named shortly.
338 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if she will consider an appeal lodged by a person (details supplied) in County Cork in regard to his application under the single payment scheme. [13415/05]
View answerThe person named has been notified that the circumstances outlined by him did not satisfy the criteria for force majeure or exceptional circumstances under Article 40 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003. Following this decision, the person named submitted an appeal to the independent single payment appeals committee. A full review of the circumstances of the case will be carried out by the committee and the person named will be notified shortly of the outcome.
