Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 December 2014
80. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 253 of 2 December 2014, that a site inspection takes place immediately in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal if some moneys will be issued to them in view of the fact they are under severe financial hardship at present; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47445/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas scheme application on 7 April 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. In light of the financial hardship being experienced by the person named the application has now been processed with the intention of issuing payment shortly.
