Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2014
77. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if approval has been given to an application under the single payment scheme 2014 and disadvantaged area-based payment scheme 2014 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; if a disadvantaged area scheme, DAS, payment for 2014 has issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38884/14]
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 issuing directly to the nominated bank account of the person named on 8 October 2014. I can confirm that 50% advance payments under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme will commence on 16 October 2014 as is provided for in the relevant EU Regulations. The application of the person named has been finalised and I expect that payment will issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
