174. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine why farm payments have been delayed for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2758/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme application on 27 May 2015. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases on-farm inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Ground eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results finalised. Payments due under the Basic Payment and the Areas of Natural Constraints Schemes issued on 23 December 2015 and 21 January 2016 respectively to the nominated bank account of the person named.
