Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named commenced their AEOS contract on 1 May 2015. Payments have issued in respect of the 2013-2015 Scheme years. Payments are issued on a yearly basis following a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System. These checks take place in the last quarter of each year, and the 2016 scheme payment will be processed once these checks are finalised.
