Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
1026. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a payment to a person (details supplied) under the basic payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9943/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a Transfer of Entitlements Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights and values by Change of Legal Entity as transferee. As the ownership of the herd number shown had been amended following the submission of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary for the person named to submit a Declaration of Undertaking form to my Department. This form has been received, the application has been processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
The person named also submitted applications under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers’ Scheme. My Department has written to the person named requesting the submission of additional documentation to facilitate further processing of these applications. To date this documentation has not been forwarded to my Department. Once the relevant documents have been received the applications will be finalised, with a view to payment issuing as soon as possible thereafter.
