Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 November 2014
94. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an issue will be resolved regarding an agri-environment option scheme application in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45702/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 2) with effect from the 1st September 2011 and full entitlements have issued in respect of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Scheme years.
A review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that a number of the land parcels declared contained ineligible features. The person named requested a review, which required a site-inspection by a Department official to verify the position on the ground. This review is currently being processed and the person named will be advised of the outcome shortly. If they are not satisfied with the outcome of the review, the decision can be appealed to the independently-chaired LPIS Appeals Committee.
Further processing of the AEOS file will be carried out when the land parcel review process is complete.
