Questions (115)

Denis Naughten

Question:

115. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will ensure that a basic payment scheme, BPS, map is digitised without delay for a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon, given that the lack of a digitised map is preventing the person from applying for the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, and the only change is on an internal boundary wall; if he is aware that the farmer in question is in Tier 1, but was unable to apply in the first round due to a departmental mapping anomaly; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named submitted an application under the Basic Payment Scheme on 22 April 2015. This application has been fully processed. The payment due should issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named. My Department has not been made aware previously of any issue in relation to a GLAS application. I have asked my officials to contact the person named to follow up on the matter.
