Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 January 2014
184. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding farm payments in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3122/14]
View answerAn application under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 22 April 2013, processing of which identified an overclaim on one parcel. As the total over claimed area was greater than 20%, no payment was due under either scheme for the year concerned. The person named was informed of this outcome and of the right of appeal. Subsequently an appeal was received and a review of the land parcel concerned is currently ongoing. An official from my Department will carry out a land verification check to determine the eligibility issues.
