Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 November 2013
145. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a 2013 agri-environment options scheme payment will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51205/13]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 November 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The Department is currently processing the application of the person named and I expect that payment in respect of 2013 will issue shortly.
