Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2014
425. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 532 of 13 May 2014, when the balance of payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27147/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 November 2010 and full payments have 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. These checks were successfully completed in respect of the 2013 Scheme year and 75% payment issued to the person named on 27 November 2013. The remaining 25% payment is currently being finalised and I expect payment to issue shortly.
