Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 April 2015
69. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Limerick will be issued a payment under the agri-environment options scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13458/15]
View answerThe person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1 May 2013. During the checking process in respect of the 2013 Scheme year, a query arose in respect of land parcels declared, which required digitisation. A request to digitise the parcels concerned was received by my Department in February 2015, however the information submitted was insufficient. My Department has contacted the person named requesting the additional information required to complete the digitisation process.
Once the digitisation process is completed, the application will be processed with a view to making payment in respect of 2013 at the earliest opportunity.
