Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 May 2014
177. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason the agri-environment option scheme payment to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has been delayed; when they may expect payment to be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20717/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2010 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 1) with effect from 1 November 2010 and has received full payment in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. There were some issues in finalising the 2013 Scheme year payment which have now been resolved. The application has now successfully completed the prepayment validation checks for 2013 and 75% payment will issue shortly. The balancing 25% payment will follow.
