255. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry under the basic payment scheme and areas of natural constraint scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2248/16]
View answerThe 2013 Single Payment Application in respect of the person named was subject to the 2013 LPIS Review. This review identified ineligible features on a number of parcels which resulted in a penalty of greater than 20% for the 2013 Scheme year. The person named was notified of this and of his right to appeal. The person named unsuccessfully appealed this penalty both to officials in my Department, which included a field visit , and subsequently to the Agriculture Appeals Committee.
The overpayments were subsequently recouped from payments due to the person named including from the 2015 Areas of Natural Constraint and the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.
