253. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the outcome of an on-site visit under the 2013 single payment scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14072/15]
View answerA review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the land parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features. The person named was advised of this position, in writing, on 17 October 2013 and their right to appeal this decision. The person named lodged an appeal on 21 January 2014. Following the review of my Department’s decision, sought by the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position on the ground is necessary. The findings of the verification visit are currently being processed. The person named will be advised, in writing, of the findings of the verification visit as soon as possible.
Should the person named be dissatisfied with the decision based on the verification visit they may appeal this decision to the independent LPIS Appeals Committee within 4 weeks of the date of notification.
