552. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in processing a payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry. [50594/13]
View answerThe person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 13 May 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 ground eligibility/cross compliance inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results are now being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will shortly be in contact with the person named.
