Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 September 2015
340. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will confirm receipt of an application for entitlements from the national reserve in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; if the applicant meets the relevant criteria under the terms governing eligibility; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33270/15]
View answerThe person named has submitted application under the 2015 National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme. Processing of applications is underway which involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application. These checks are required under EU Regulation. In cases where additional information is required my Department will correspond directly with the applicant concerned. When all checks have been completed, and processing of applications has been finalised my Department will correspond directly with each applicant to advise them of the outcome of their application.
Payments to successful applicants under the National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme will commence early in December 2015.
