Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 October 2014
39. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding a REP scheme and agricultural environment option scheme payment for 2014 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39346/14]
View answerThis concerns an application under AEOS III. There is no record of any payment due to the person named under the Rural Environment Protection Scheme. The person named commenced in AEOS III on 1 May 2013. However, on 26 July 2013 a request was received by my Department to amend his 2013 Single Payment Scheme application, which in turn underpins the AEOS payment. Unfortunately, no accompanying maps indicating the new parcel divisions were ever submitted, and to date nothing further has been received. Officials from my Department will contact the person named to obtain the necessary maps to allow digitisation of parcels to proceed. Once this is done, the relevant AEOS payment can be processed.
