Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 June 2013
196. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Kerry will be paid their single farm payment and agri-environment options scheme payment for 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28368/13]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware from my reply to his Parliamentary Question on 8 May that no payment had been made in this case because no application had been received.
In the intervening period and following contact by my Department with the person concerned, an application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received with accompanying medical evidence relating to the late submission of the application. Having considered this evidence, it was decided to accept the late application on an exceptional basis. Payment under the Single Payment Scheme will issue shortly to the nominated bank account.
There is no record of an AEOS application from the person named.
