194. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when GLAS payments will issue to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36395/16]
View answerAn application under Tranche 1 of GLAS was received by the Department on the 26 May 2015 and the person named was approved into GLAS 1 with effect from 1 October 2015.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue.
During the cross checks with the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) issues were identified that required further examination. Following the resolution of the BPS issues the necessary prepayment validations on the GLAS application will be carried out with a view to issuing payment.
