222. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an application by a person (details supplied) for a farm payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12274/16]
View answerThe persons named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease, with the first person named as transferor. This application has been processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue shortly.
The person named also submitted applications to my Department under the ‘young farmer’ category of the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme. Once the Basic Payment Scheme payment has issued, the applications under the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme can be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
