Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2016
238. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive payment under the agri-environment options scheme; if the checks as stated in Parliamentary Question No. 99 of 20 January 2016 have been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4189/16]
View answerThe person named commenced their AEOS 1 contract on 1 November 2010 and has been paid 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 it is their final scheme year re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. These checks have now been completed and payment will issue shortly.
