Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 December 2013
335. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Longford will be issued with their single farm payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51477/13]
View answerThe person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 23 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 ground eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results finalised.
Payments under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas’ Scheme and Single Payment Scheme issued to the nominated back account of the person named on 25 November 2013 and 26 November 2013, respectively. Payment of the balancing payment under the Single Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
