469. 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 Scottish derrogation scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16747/16]
View answerMy Department received a Scottish Derogation application from the person named on 8th May 2015.
In order to qualify for ‘Scottish Derogation’ applicants must submit verifiable evidence that they were engaged in agricultural production in 2013. No such evidence was included with the application from the person named and an official from my Department has been in contact with the person named to request this information.
On receipt of this information the application will be processed further and the person named will be notified of the outcome of his application shortly thereafter.
