Payments under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme begin issuing, on target, on 16 October. To date payments worth nearly €1.2 billion have issued to 122,659 applicants. An additional 631 applicants remain to be paid.
All of those who have yet to be paid have been contacted by Department in relation to various queries which must be resolved prior to payment being issued.
Payments continue to issue on a weekly basis, as individual cases are confirmed eligible for payment.
Successive EU audits have made it clear that payments should not issue under Area Based schemes, including Single Payment Scheme, until all queries associated with an application are resolved.
The payment position, on a county basis, is as outlined below.
