Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason an outstanding debt under the 2013 disadvantaged area scheme has been assessed against a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the way this debt was calculated; if maps and details of this debt were provided to the person; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerA review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that a number of the land parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features. Following an appeal from the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position was necessary to progress the matter. The person named was supplied with new maps when notified of the outcome of the inspection in a letter dated 18th July 2014 and advised of the right of appeal to the independently-chaired LPIS Appeals Committee. To date no such appeal has been lodged.
