Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2013
429. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason an adjudication on an appeal in relation to payment of the 2012 disadvantaged area scheme has been delayed in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11293/13]
View answerThe person named is one of a number of applicants under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, whose cases are impacted by the requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare in 2011 and who applied for and were refused derogation in this regard. Additional information was subsequently supplied to my Department which showed that this requirement had been satisfied, thereby allowing processing to be finalised. Payment issued to the nominated bank account on 1 February 2013.
