Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
1037. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when he will issue payment to persons (details supplied) under the 2015 national reserve scheme and the young farmers’ scheme; and the reason he sought information which was submitted three times by the applicants. [10093/16]
View answerThe persons named submitted applications to my Department in respect of the National Reserve and also the Young Farmers’ Scheme, with the second person named as the young farmer. The documents originally submitted as evidence of off-farm income were not sufficient. My Department wrote to the persons named seeking submission of the correct supporting documents. These documents were subsequently submitted which allowed the applications to be further processed. These applications have now been fully processed and payment will issue in the coming days.
