Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
321. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to outline the status of an application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the basic payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6030/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by sale as Transferee. An issue regarding the Basic Payment Scheme application submitted by the Transferor in this case has prevented the processing of the transfer application. An Official from my Department has contacted the Transferor to resolve this issue. Once resolved the transfer application can be completed to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme. The person named also submitted an application under the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once the Basic Payment Scheme payment has issued, this application can be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
