Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

An application under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 25 August 2016, thus incurring 100% late penalty. My Department is currently reviewing the case following a written request from the person named. This review will be completed at the earliest possible opportunity and the applicant will be notified directly of the outcome.
