Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
514. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an application by a person (details supplied) under the farm payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15654/16]
View answerThe person named commenced their AEOS contract in 2010. Payment issued in respect of the 2010-2014 scheme years. 2014 year payments issued on 9/12/14 and 30/01/15.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. As all AEOS 1 participants will be receiving their final payments under the scheme, re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. Officials are working through these files and payment will be made in this case as soon as possible.
