Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
527. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when persons (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive their AEOS 3 payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25866/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1 May 2013.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in respect of land parcels declared as Natura on the application. This has been dealt with by my Department and payment in respect of the 2013 Scheme year will issue shortly.
