102. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will advise on the situation pertaining to a farmer (details supplied) in County Roscommon; his views that it is most unsatisfactory that those acting on behalf of the farmer were not contacted by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27883/15]
View answerThe estate of the person named submitted an application for the 2014 Single Payment and Disadvantaged Areas Schemes on 15th May 2014.

The application has now been processed based on the information provided and any payment due to the estate will issue in due course. An official from my Department will make direct contact with solicitors for the estate regarding this matter.
