800. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an application for a farm payment by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13163/16]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.
EU Regulations governing the Basic Payment Scheme require administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the scheme. These checks are now being finalised for the person named and my Department will correspond directly with him in the coming days in relation to his Scottish Derogation application.
