207. Deputy Seamus Kirk asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Louth will receive payment under the basic farm payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44747/15]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 7 May 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 issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 10 December 2015. Processing of the payments due under the Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme has recently been finalised and payment will issue to the person named shortly.
