Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 April 2015
304. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a forestry application will be processed in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14755/15]
View answerThe processing of this application was delayed due to difficulties in receiving correct mapping information from the applicant and his forester. As all the information requested has now been received by the Department, it is expected that payment of the outstanding planting grant can be made before 30 April 2015. Payment of the outstanding forestry premiums will be made once the planting grant is paid. Premium claim forms will be sent to the applicant for signing. It should be noted that all payees in receipt of €10,000 or more in any 12 month period are required to provide an up to date Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) at the time of payment. All such payees should ensure they have a current TCC lodged with the Department . The applicant has been advised of this.
