Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
614. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be paid their 2013 disadvantaged area payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3764/14]
View answerUnder the 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, applicants are required to maintain 0.15 livestock units for a minimum retention period of seven consecutive months, applicants are also required to maintain an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the 12 months of the scheme year. Payment under the 2013 Scheme has not issued to the person named as their holding has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements. As soon as the holding is confirmed as having met these requirements, the case will be further processed with a view to payment issuing at the earliest possible date thereafter.
