Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 December 2015
81. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in a payment under the basic payment scheme 2015 to a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45505/15]
View answerThe 2015 Basic Payment Scheme applications of both of the persons named were submitted to the Department on 29 May 2015. The application of the first person named has been processed and payment will issue to their nominated bank account on completion of the further processing of their separate Private Contract Clause application. The application of the second person named has been processed with advance payment issuing on 19 October 2015 to their nominated bank account.
The persons named also submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department which sought the transfer of land and corresponding entitlements by lease. My Department issued a letter to the second named person on 16 November seeking clarification regarding leased or rented land. No reply to this letter has been received by my Department to date. When a reply has been received setting out the clarification sought, my Department can further process this application.
