Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
318. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a payment review under the Rural Environment Protection Scheme for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo. [36358/15]
View answerA review of this case was completed by the Regional Inspector on 3 July 2015, which included a detailed examination of the medical evidence as presented by the person named. The issue related to the fact that an SPS application had not been submitted under the relevant time provisions for SPS for 2012 and 2013. The medical evidence presented related to 2009, which was outside the remit of Force Majeure.
The Single Payment unit had previously adjudicated on the same medical evidence and found that the case did not satisfy the Force Majeure provisions. The person named was informed of his right to have the case considered by the Agriculture Appeals Office in the decision letter of the Regional Inspector.
