Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2015
291. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the outcome of a review in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal regarding their agri-environment options scheme application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2442/15]
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 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 several of the land parcels declared contained ineligible features. Following an appeal from the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position was necessary to progress the matter. The person named was recently advised by letter of the successful outcome of this appeal. Their agri environment option scheme file will now be processed in the light of this successful Single Payment Scheme appeal.
