Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Deputy Brendan Smith)

An official of my Department has been in direct contact with the persons named and has given them details of the payments already made to them under the various provisions of the EU Sugar Reform package. Subject to one further payment, which will issue shortly, the applicants will then have received their full entitlements under the EU Sugar Reform Package.
