Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
444. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment under the 2014 disadvantaged area based scheme and the single farm payment scheme will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; the reason for the delay in issuing this payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41730/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 1 4 May 2014. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection and this inspection has been completed.
Payments due under 2014 Single Farm Payment and the Disadvantaged Areas’ Scheme have been finalised and will issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
