Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2013
560. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding a disadvantaged area payment appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6746/13]
View answerWhile the person named appealed to the DAS Appeals Committee, he was among a high percentage of applicants who submitted supporting documentation with their appeals which had not previously been submitted to my Department. This necessitated further examination by my Department and in this case, the additional documentation was sufficient to allow the appeal. Accordingly, processing of the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application was finalised, and payment issued to the nominated bank account on 17 December 2012.
