Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 February 2014
161. Deputy Heather Humphreys asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Cavan will receive their AEOS payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5924/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 November 2010 and full payment has issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The 75% payment in respect of the 2013 Scheme year issued to the person named on 27 November 2013. The remaining 25% payment was withheld pending resolution of a LPIS review issue. This issue has now been resolved and the balancing 25% payment will issue shortly.
