197. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding an area aid application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51873/12]
View answerAn application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 8 May 2012. However, payment has not yet issued as, at this stage, the holding of the person named has not satisfied the twelve-month average stocking density minimum of 0.15 livestock units per declared forage hectare, as per the 2012 Terms and Conditions. Immediately this criteria can be confirmed, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.
