Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 November 2016
486. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 503 of 4 October 2016, when payment will issue to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35783/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2016 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint scheme application on 11 May 2016. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a remote sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection has been completed and the results have been finalised. Payments due under the Basic Payment and Areas of Natural Constraints Schemes will issue shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
