Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 January 2017
251. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason payment has not issued under GLAS 1 to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the reason for the delay in issuing this payment; when payment is likely to issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3357/17]
View answerThe person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015.
The application has not successfully completed the 2015 prepayment checking process, due to issues identified with the Basic Payment Scheme application and issues found with the Commonage action. Department officials are examining these issues with a view to resolving and further processing the application for payment at the earliest opportunity.
Following the issue of payment in respect of the 2015 scheme year, the prepayment checks will get under way for 2016.
