179. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the single farm payment due to a person (details supplied) in County Longford will be immediately paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7608/16]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the Basic Payment Scheme. Under EU Regulations governing the Basic Payment scheme, processing of applications involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted. These checks are now complete and the application has been finalised. Payment under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ category will issue in the coming days.
