Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
416. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment will issue to a person (details supplied) under the agri-environment options scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1467/16]
View answerThe person named commenced their AEOS 1 contract on 1 September 2010, and has been paid in full for the 2010-2014 scheme years.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. As 2015 is the final year of payment, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. It is expected that these checks will be completed shortly.
