Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 October 2014
73. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a decision will be made on a single farm payment application for 2013-14 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37231/14]
View answerMy Department received an application to transfer 2.26 entitlements to the person named from another herd owner by way of sale on 24 April 2013. The application was rejected as the herd owner transferring the entitlements did not hold sufficient entitlements to proceed with the transfer. In this case, the entitlements were leased out to another herd owner.
A letter was issued to both parties from my Department on 14 May 2013, advising that the Transfer of Entitlements application had been rejected due to the fact that the transferor did not have sufficient entitlements to transfer to the person named.
Due to the fact that the entitlements were not transferred, no payment on these entitlements was due to be paid to the person named in respect of the 2013 or 2014 scheme years.
