Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2012
507. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive their single farm payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51104/12]
View answerAn application under the Single Payment Scheme /Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 14th May 2012. In order to comply with EU requirements, the application was one of a number which was selected for inspection and therefore payment could not be made pending the outcome of this process.
Arising from the findings of this inspection, it has been necessary to adjust the payment in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme. The applicant is being advised of this outcome and the reasons for it. The applicant is also being advised of the right to seek a review and also of the right to appeal the outcome of any such review, in due course, to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office. The application is now being processed with a view to issuing payment under the Single Payment Scheme shortly on this basis.
