141. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if applicants under the green low-carbon agri-environmental scheme looking to stack entitlements or to share plans, for example, a father and son on the same scheme, will not have payments delayed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFor the purposes of GLAS where the herd number is held in joint names, e.g. father and son, the GLAS application can be submitted and processed in the normal manner. The annual Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application is also the application for payment under the GLAS Scheme and once the areas declared for BPS are verified the necessary checks required for the GLAS payment can be completed.
