Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 May 2013
232. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there are circumstances in which an application to the new agri-environment options scheme, which has not yet been accepted, may be amended as serious errors have been detected in relation to the plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24722/13]
View answerMy Department is on the point of finalising the processing of applications received under the Agri-environmental Options Scheme on the basis of the information submitted by the applicants. The Scheme Terms and Conditions clearly set out the information requirements to be submitted with each application by the closing date. My Department have been in contact with applicants with a view to resolving queries arising on applications submitted but there are no provisions for applications to be substantially amended as this stage.
