Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
515. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) will receive a year 5 payment under the agri-environment options scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15658/16]
View answerThe person named commenced their AEOS contract in 2010. Payment issued in respect of the 2010-2014 scheme years.
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. Payments in this case were approved on 10/06/16 and will issue to the person named shortly.
