Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 May 2016
82. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when payment will issue to persons (details supplied) under the national reserve scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8952/16]
View answerThe persons named submitted applications under the 2015 National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme. In submitting the applications the persons named applied for both the ‘new entrant’ and ‘young farmer’ categories of the National Reserve. The applications under the ‘young farmer’ category of the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme have not been successful as the applicant does not meet the age criteria for these schemes.
My Department has now examined the application under the ‘new entrant’ category of the National Reserve and deemed it to be successful. This application is being finalised and payment will issue shortly.
