Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2015
284. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will arrange to issue payments under the disadvantaged areas scheme and the single payment scheme to a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39355/15]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 28 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 is currently being processed with the intention of issuing any payments due under the Direct Payments Schemes as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
