Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2013
430. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon will receive their single farm payment for 2013; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52821/13]
View answerThe person named submitted a Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme application on 12 April 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of the 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 finalised. Payment under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme issued to the nominated bank account of person named on 5 December 2013. Payment under the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme will issue shortly.
