Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2013
828. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork has yet to receive their forestry premium payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27801/13]
View answerThe applicant has two forestry contracts, CN42664 and CN42446.
Remedial works are outstanding on contract number CN42664. A letter requesting the required works was issued August 2011 but no confirmation that the works were completed has been received from the applicant to date. The 2nd instalment of the applicant’s forest establishment grant cannot be paid until these works have been completed and the plantation has brought up to the standard required under the scheme. As six annual premiums have been paid (up to 2012), no more premiums can be processed until the 2nd Instalment grant has been approved and paid. The applicant is advised to contact his forestry company regarding this matter.
With regard to CN42446, all payments due to date have been paid in respect of this contract.
