250. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a basic payment scheme payment in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39134/16]
View answerThe person named submitted a 2016 basic payment/ Areas of Natural Constraint scheme's application on 24 April 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 now been completed and the results have been finalised. Payments due under the Basic Payment Scheme issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 8 November 2016 and 1 December 2016.
