Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2009
540 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the 2009 area based payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37224/09]
View answerThe application under the 2009 single payment scheme/disadvantaged areas scheme by the person named was selected for an eligibility inspection by way of satellite imagery. Such inspections are carried out on a number of applications each year in order to meet the EU requirements for payment under the single payment scheme.
The inspection has now been completed and a small area over-claim has been identified. Accordingly, payment due under the single payment scheme will be slightly reduced. Payments under both the single payment scheme and the disadvantaged areas scheme will issue to the person named as soon as possible.

View answerIn order to receive payment under the 2009 disadvantaged areas scheme, a valid application form must have been submitted to my Department by 15 May 2009 — the deadline for receipt of applications under the scheme. My Department has no record of receiving a 2009 single payment scheme/disadvantaged areas scheme application from the person named.
