Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 December 2016
232. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied) in which an allocation of a basic payment allowance was made in respect of a parcel of land. [40266/16]
View answerAn application under the 2016 Basic Payment Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 13 May 2016. As he does not hold any Basic Payment entitlements, no payment is due him under this Scheme. Following processing, one of the parcels declared was disclosed as being dual claimed with another party. As the person named has not farmed the lands in question, it cannot be included as part of his application which has now been fully processed with respect to the remaining parcels.
The person named has recently submitted documentation in respect of the dual claimed parcel in question. This documentation is currently being reviewed by my officials.
