Question:

818. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he has received an application for an appeal on a late receipt under the 2015 basic payment scheme by a person (details supplied); if consideration has been given to this appeal; if not, the reason for the delay in making a decision on the appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

An application under the 2015 basic Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 24 December 2015. As the application was received outside the permitted timeframes, it was deemed to have attracted a 100% late penalty. Following submission of an appeal, the late penalty was waived in this case and payment has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named.
