Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
265. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on an over-claim on a land parcel for 2015 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5509/16]
View answerThe owners of the above mentioned herd number have applied for the Single/Basic Payment Scheme for all years from 2008 to 2015. On processing of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was identified that a forestry parcel was not eligible for payment as it was claimed as scrub in 2008. On further examination, it has been identified that this parcel was incorrectly paid for Single Payment in 2011, 2012 and 2013. A process of recoupment of these overpayments will now be initiated.
