229. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Clare will receive an agri-environment options scheme 2 payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47134/14]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 2) with effect from 1 September 2011 and full payment has issued in respect of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Scheme years.
Under the EU Regulations governing this Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. These checks have now been successfully completed in respect of the 2014 Scheme year and payments will issue shortly.
