230. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding payment of an agri-environment option scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32625/13]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 2011.
In carrying out the necessary checks required under EU Regulations discrepancies were identified regarding information submitted on the AEOS application form and the farm maps which accompanied the AEOS application. Officials from my Department contacted the Agricultural Advisor of the person named and the response to this query, received on the 20th June 2013, has given rise to two further queries. The Agricultural Advisor of the person named has again been contacted and upon receipt of a satisfactory response the processing of the file will be completed.
