Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2013
447. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not received their disadvantaged areas payment and single farm payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44405/13]
View answerAn application under the Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from person named on 16 April 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue. The application of the person named was selected for a remote sensing inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
