Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2014
110. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide an update on a single farm payment and disadvantaged area scheme payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39255/14]
View answerPayments under the 2014 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme began issuing, on target, on 24 September. Processing of the application of the person named has recently been finalised, with payment due to issue shortly, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named. In relation to the Single Farm Payment, I can confirm that 50% advance payments will commence on 16 October 2014 as is provided for in the relevant EU Regulations.
