Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 November 2014
64. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will arrange to issue disadvantaged and single farm payments in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44758/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 14 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.
This inspection has been completed and the results are currently being finalised with the intention of issuing any payments due shortly. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
