700. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment under the disadvantaged areas scheme for 2012 will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the reason for the delay in issuing payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5200/13]
View answerThe person named is one of a number whose Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application were impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare in 2011 and who applied for and were granted derogation in this regard in December 2012. However, payment has not yet issued as an overclaim has been identified on one of the land parcels declared. The applicant has been written to regarding this matter and, on receipt of a reply, the application will be further processed.
