Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2015
252. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a payment under the single payment scheme will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42471/15]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Entitlement Allocation Right and Reference Value and a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department. These applications are being processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue as soon as possible.
The person named has also submitted applications for the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme. Processing of National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme applications is well underway and 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 Regulations. 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 after the Basic Payment Scheme balancing payments issue in December.
