Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
661. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied) under the basic payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20590/16]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for the Basic Payment Scheme which was received in my Department on 25 May 2015. During processing of this application, over-claims were identified in respect of two land parcels declared. The person named was notified of these over-claims on 16 December 2015. The application was subsequently fully processed and payment issued with penalties applied to the nominated bank account in December 2015. An appeal has been examined in which the applicant did not accept the Reference/Maximum Eligible Area on one particular land parcel. This appeal has been upheld. The application will now be further processed and any outstanding payment will issue shortly.
