Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 May 2014
95. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an agri-environment options scheme payment will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23432/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 2011 and payments have issued in respect of the 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. During a 2013 inspection, the person named was deemed non-compliant in respect of the Species Rich Grassland and Natura Owned actions. A letter issued to the person named notifying him of the inspection findings and setting out the appeal option. As no appeal was received my Department is processing the file on the basis of the inspection findings with the intention of issuing payment as soon as possible.
