59. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of hectares a person (details supplied) was deemed to be over-claiming; the penalty that ensued; the deduction that was taken in 2014 for their 2013 single payment scheme and their 2013 disadvantaged areas scheme payment; the eligible area used for their 2014 SPS and DAS; and if a ground inspection has taken or will take place. [44617/14]
View answerA review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features. Following the review of my Department’s decision, sought by the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position on the ground is now necessary. The person named will be advised, in writing, of the findings of the verification visit as soon as possible following the visit. In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this verification check, the decision can be appealed to the independent LPIS Appeals Committee, within four weeks of the notification letter.
