Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 March 2013
472. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding the 2012 disadvantaged areas scheme programme in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14852/13]
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 under the 2012 Scheme.
