Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 January 2016
157. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason for the delay in issuing payment to a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the 2015 basic payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1681/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department. All details relating to land parcel details for 2013 and 2015 and Single payment entitlement values for 2014 had to be reconciled in order to process this application. This application has now been fully processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme is due to issue shortly. The person named also submitted applications under the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once payment under the Basic Payment Scheme has been made, the applications to the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme will be processed with a view to payment issuing soon thereafter.
