Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2014
309. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the outcome of a field inspection under the single farm payment and area aid scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; when payment will issue to the person; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47940/14]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 26 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.
This inspection has been completed and payment due under the Single Farm Payment Scheme issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 11 December 2014. Payment due under the Disadvantaged Areas’ Scheme will issue as soon as possible.
