914. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding an application for the area based payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; when payment will issue.; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48221/12]
View answerAn application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 2 April 2012. However, payment has not yet issued as, at this stage, the holding of the person named has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements, which have been notified to all Scheme applicants. Immediately the holding concerned is confirmed as having met these requirements, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.
