Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
416. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the way in which a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny will benefit from changes to the proposed changes to the single farm payment scheme under the Scottish derogation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29145/15]
View answerThe person named did not hold entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme. Presuming that she was actively engaged in farming in 2013 whereby she 'produced, reared or grew agricultural products through harvesting, milking, breeding animals and keeping animals for farming purposes', then she is eligible under the standard Scottish Derogation. The person named has submitted an application under this provision.
As the person named never held entitlements under the Single Payment Scheme, the recent changes regarding eligibility for those who held entitlements of under €100 are not relevant.
