Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
459. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a decision on a 2013 single farm payment will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21925/15]
View answerThe person named submitted an application in respect of the Single Farm Payment and Disadvantaged Area Schemes on 13 May 2013. During processing of this application a dual claim error arose where three of the parcels declared by the person named were also being claimed by another applicant under the Single Payment Scheme. Both parties were notified of this fact and were requested to submit documentation providing evidence of their right to claim the parcel as in question. Following the receipt of correspondence the Department was advised that the parcels in question are subject to ongoing legal proceedings. Payments in this case are being withheld pending the resolution of the legal proceedings.
