Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Following a review of land parcels declared by the person named for the 2010 scheme year, over-claims were established on 4 parcels. Notification of the over-claims issued on 18 August 2011 and the resulting 2010 overpayment of €3,388.74 was deducted from the advance payment for the 2011 Single Payment Scheme. In addition the balancing 2011 Single Farm Payment amount was reduced accordingly.

The position in relation to other schemes is being determined.

There is no record of an appeal having been received. An official of my Department will contact the person named to progress this matter.
