Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 December 2014
94. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo, will have their 2014 payments processed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47518/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment /Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 4 April 2014. EU regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm or 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 payment due under the Single Farm Payment Scheme will issue to the nominated bank account of the person named this week. Payment due under the Disadvantaged Areas’ Scheme is expected to issue shortly.
