Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 October 2014
92. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in issuing a single farm payment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; when they may expect payment to issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40723/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment scheme application on 8 May 2014. EU Regulations governing the administration of the Single Farm Payment and Disadvantaged Areas’ schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
This application was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and I expect that payment will shortly issue to the nominated bank account of the person named.
