Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2015
264. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payments under the 2015 areas of natural constraint scheme and basic payment scheme will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39160/15]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 15 April 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection has now been completed and the results have been finalised.
Payments due under the Basic Payment Scheme and Areas of Natural Constraint scheme issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 30 October 2015 and 2 November respectively.
