Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
650. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a payment to a person (details supplied) under the agri-environment options scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20489/16]
View answerMy Department has no record of receiving an AEOS application for the person named. An application under Tranche 1 of GLAS was received in my Department on 20 May 2015 and the person named was approved into GLAS 1 with effect from 1 October 2015. There are a number of applications, including that of the person named, remaining which have not passed all of the Department’s pre-payment validation checks for the 2015 part-year payment. The Department is continuing to investigate these issues including the correction of any IT or data issues with a view to all these remaining cases meeting the payment validation checks, so that they will be paid the full amount of their 2015 part-year payment at the same time as the 2015 GLAS balancing payment, which is expected to issue shortly.
