Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2016
648. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) has received no BPS payment to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34967/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2016 Transfer of Entitlements application to my Department seeking the transfer of entitlements by Change of Registration Details of Herd Number.
As the herd number shown had been changed into joint names after the submission of the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme application, it was necessary to have a Declaration of Undertaking form completed in order to allow the transfer application to be processed.
A letter issued with a Declaration of Undertaking form to the person named on the 4th October 2016. To date the completed Declaration of Undertaking from has not been received by my Department. Once the completed form is returned the application will be further processed with a view to payment issuing as soon as possible thereafter.
