Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 February 2013
201. Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment of a disadvantaged areas payment will issue to persons (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6298/13]
View answerUnder 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, eligible applicants are required to have met a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of six consecutive months, in addition to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year.
While the holding of the person named was confirmed as having satisfied the twelve-month average, it did not satisfy the six month minimum requirement. Therefore, unfortunately, no payment is due to the person named under the 2012 Scheme.
