Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 January 2014
561. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when maps will be provided to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo, as requested by me last October; and if the case will be reviewed again as the person believes that no overclaim has occurred. [2603/14]
View answerThe person named was written to by my Department in August 2013 as part of a review of land parcels declared for the purposes of benefiting from payment under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. The person named was notified about ineligible areas on a number of land parcels declared for the scheme years 2009 and 2010 which had given rise to overpayments in both the scheme years 2009 and 2010. Following a complete review of the circumstances of this case, the penalty applied to each of the scheme years 2009 and 2010 has been reduced by over 90% and refunds will shortly issue to the person named. A complete set of maps outlining the current position has now issued to the person named.
