Question:

155. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork is not being paid their single farm payment in respect of lands which were previously disqualified but which have now been adequately fenced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5765/14]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

An application under the 2013 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas scheme was received from the person named on 8 May 2013. An issue arose with the fencing of some of the lands declared by the person named. This issue has been resolved and I expect that payment will shortly issue to the person named.
