Written answers

The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st of September 2010.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in relation to the accumulation of actions on one of the land parcels. Officials in my Department have been in contact with the person named with a view to resolving the problem and issuing payment as quickly as possible.

471 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive a disadvantaged area aid payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30904/11]

An application under the 2011 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 9 May 2011.

This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility/Cross Compliance Inspection. This inspection was completed and the results are now being processed.

In the vast majority of inspected cases amendments have had to be made to the maps in order that the Land Parcel Identification System that is used for making payments to farmers is kept up-to-date. Processing of these changes is continuing and priority is given to applications who were the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection.
