Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 March 2015
88. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of cross compliance inspections carried out in 2014 and in 2015 to date per county; the number where difficulties were encountered and no fines were issued as a result of corrective action; the number where fines were issued; the total value of fines per county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12242/15]
View answerThe extensive range of data requested by the Deputy is not readily available.
In relation to the 2014 cross compliance inspections, my Department continues to finalise the results of these inspections. On completion of this process the data requested in respect of 2014 inspections will be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
In relation to the data requested for the 2015 inspections, my Department will not be in a position to provide data on the value of any fines applied until the amount of payment due under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme has been determined for each case where a sanction has been applied. The other data requested in relation to 2015 inspections will be forwarded directly to the Deputy once compiled.
